Chen, Hong-Ren; Lin, Wen-Shan; Hsu, Tien-Yu; Lin, Tzu-Chun; Chen, Nian-Shing – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
Research on the use of augmented reality technology in museums is mostly limited to scientific knowledge. The use of wearable device technology learning materials to benefit students in the process of English learning has been somewhat explored, along with differences in students' learning styles and their influence on students' learning…

Munna, Afzal Sayed; Kalam, Md Abul – Online Submission, 2021
Economic development has encouraged innovation in a range of industries; however, the education industry has been following traditional modes of teaching until recently across the world. This has not only affected the capabilities of the youth but has also led to the problem of unemployment and diminished success rates at the workplace. One of the…

Nusantari, Elya; Abdul, Aryati; Damopolii, Insar; Alghafri, Ali Salim Rashid; Bakkar, Bakkar Suleiman – European Journal of Educational Research, 2021
The research aims to develop an instructional tool based on Discovery Learning (DL) combined with a Metacognitive Knowledge Strategy (MKS) to enhance students' Critical Thinking Skills (CTSs). In doing so, the study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method to develop such a tool. The developed instructional tool was tested for its…

Hajian, Shiva; Obaid, Teeba; Jain, Misha; Nesbit, John – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2019
Instructional support is fundamental to successful implementation of Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) in various educational settings. Although research indicates that instructional support can lead to learning gain and achievement of inquiry strategies, it does not explain why the same level of guidance for students with relatively the same level of…

Clark, Richard E.; Kirschner, Paul A.; Sweller, John – American Educator, 2012
Disputes about the impact of instructional guidance during teaching have been ongoing for more than a half century. On one side of this argument are those who believe that all people--novices and experts alike--learn best when provided with instruction that contains unguided or partly guided segments. On the other side are those who believe that…

Fyfe, Emily R.; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany; DeCaro, Marci S. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2012
Providing exploratory activities prior to explicit instruction can facilitate learning. However, the level of guidance provided during the exploration has largely gone unstudied. In this study, we examined the effects of 1 form of guidance, feedback, during exploratory mathematics problem solving for children with varying levels of prior domain…

Mandrin, Pierre-A; Preckel, Daniel – School Science and Mathematics, 2009
Analogies are known to foster concept learning, whereas discovery learning is effective for transfer. By combining discovery learning and analogies or similarities of concepts, attractive new arrangements emerge, but do they maintain both concept and transfer effects? Unfortunately, there is a lack of data confirming such combined effectiveness.…

Singaravelu, G. – Journal on English Language Teaching, 2012
The study substantiates that the effectiveness of Discovery Learning method in learning English Grammar for the learners at standard V. Discovery Learning is particularly beneficial for any student learning a second language. It promotes peer interaction and development of the language and the learning of concepts with content. Reichert and…

Klein, Amelia – Young Children, 1991
Presents a method for initiating discovery learning in early childhood classrooms through the study of ants. Children read about ants, record observations, and conduct experiments. This method teaches children to explore the environment, organize activities, seek resources, and engage in scientific inquiry. Examples of children's work are…

Scruggs, Thomas E.; And Others – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1993
Fifty-three adolescents with learning disabilities or mild mental retardation were taught reasons for dinosaur extinction. Those taught in a mnemonic elaborative interrogation condition recalled more reasons than did students who received direct teaching. Students in elaborative interrogation and mnemonic elaborative interrogation groups recalled…

Suomala, Jyrki; Alamaki, Ari; Alajaaski, Jarkko – 2000
The goals of this study were to investigate problem-solving in a context that requires a rich interaction among social, motivational, and cognitive processes and to compare the effects of the mediated and discovery models of learning on students' problem-solving processes in the complex technology-based learning environment. Subjects were 88…

Hickey, Daniel T.; Petrosino, Anthony – 1992
A central premise of the discovery-learning and progressive education movements was that the child's own questions are the most appropriate starting point for instruction. Recent advances present new opportunities for discovery-oriented learning. This project has been attempting to create a classroom environment which affords students the…
