The acquisition of addition facts was investigated in a practice study. Participants were 103 Grade 1 children who practiced simple addition problems with three different methods: (a) writing down the answer, (b) choosing between two alternative answers, and (c) filling in the second missing addend. On a test with simple addition problems,…

Kirschner, Femke; Paas, Fred; Kirschner, Paul A.; Janssen, Jeroen – Learning and Instruction, 2011
The effectiveness and efficiency of individual versus collaborative learning was investigated as a function of instructional format among 140 high school students in the domain of biology. The instructional format either emphasized worked examples, which needed to be studied or the equivalent problems, which needed to be solved. Because problem…

Grobe, Cornelia S.; Renkl, Alexander – Learning and Instruction, 2007
Learning from worked examples is an effective learning method in well-structured domains. Can its effectiveness be further enhanced when errors are included? This was tested by determining whether a combination of correct and incorrect solutions in worked examples enhances learning outcomes in comparison to correct solutions only, and whether a…

Scheiter, Katharina; Gerjets, Peter; Vollmann, Brigitte; Catrambone, Richard – Learning and Instruction, 2009
Against the background of an adaptation of Cognitive Load Theory to learner-controlled settings we investigated the impact of learner characteristics on information utilization strategies, cognitive load, and learning outcomes in a hypermedia environment. Based on the data of 79 students, five clusters of students were identified according to…

Peer reviewedSutherland, Louise – Learning and Instruction, 2002
Implemented and evaluated a classroom-based research project designed to examine the impact of instruction in a question analysis strategy on the development of novice chemistry students' problem solving expertise. Results for students in 18 classrooms provide some indications that strategy instruction accompanied by strategic supports has a…

Peer reviewedChinnappan, Mohan; Lawson, Michael J. – Learning and Instruction, 1996
Two studies involving a total of 66 Australian high school students investigated the effects of training in the use of general strategies on the performance of high- and low-achieving students in trigonometry. The positive effects of management training were identified for both high- and low-achieving students. (SLD)

Peer reviewedWistedt, Inger; Martinsson, Mats – Learning and Instruction, 1996
A study of interactions among Swedish intermediate-grade students as they solved a nonstandard mathematics task confronting the phenomenon of infinity shows that the children can reach a considerable understanding of the problem by contextualizing the problem in different ways. The collective orchestration of problem variations results in enhanced…

Goetz, Thomas; Hall, Nathan C.; Frenzel, Anne C.; Pekrun, Reinhard – Learning and Instruction, 2006
The focus of the present study is on students' experiences of enjoyment, an emotion largely neglected in educational research. We present a model in which specific levels of generalization of the construct of enjoyment are differentiated. Based on their extent of generalization, these differentiated constructs of enjoyment are located in a…

This study examines the effect of formal representation of blue and yellow color mixtures as rational numbers on students' ability to solve ratio problems comparing the mixtures. Sixty subjects participated, 20 from each of grades 7, 8, and 9 from a Haifa (Israel) junior high school. Introducing the formal representation improved performance for…
