Direct linkCheon, Jongpil; Grant, Michael M. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2012
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a metaphorical interface on germane cognitive load in Web-based instruction. Based on cognitive load theory, germane cognitive load is a cognitive investment for schema construction and automation. A new instrument developed in a previous study was used to measure students' mental activities…

Lambert, Judy; Kalyuga, Slava; Capan, Lisa A. – E-Learning, 2009
The described study investigated the effectiveness of an e-learning Web 2.0 course redesigned from the perspective of cognitive load theory. The analyzed variables were course wiki design features, levels of instructor support, levels of cognitive load and engagement, and values students placed on particular pedagogical approaches used during…

Peer reviewedThurman, Richard A. – Educational Technology, Research and Development, 1993
Examines implications from cognitive psychology which are important for the design of microcomputer-based instructional simulations. Topics addressed include cognitive structure, including schemata and mental models; cognitive and metacognitive strategies; automaticity of cognitive processes; and affect, or the motivational appeal. (Contains 86…

Peer reviewedVan Merrienboer, Jeroen J. G.; Paas, Fred G. W. C. – Computers in Human Behavior, 1990
Discussion of computer programing at the secondary level focuses on automation and schema acquisition as two processes important in learning cognitive skills such as programing. Their effects on learning outcomes and transfer of training are examined, the importance of worked examples is highlighted, and instructional design principles are…

Peer reviewedBabbitt, Beatrice; Usnick, Virginia – Arithmetic Teacher, 1993
Proposes using a hypermedia authoring program as a method for helping students make connections between definitions, representations, and applications of mathematical concepts. Provides an example involving fractions and discusses the advantages of using hypermedia. (eight references and four resources) (MDH)

Henderson, Lyn; Tallman, Julie – 1998
This study examined the cause-effect interconnectivity of various mental models utilized by 10 American and Australian teachers and media specialists when involved in one-on-one teaching-learning episodes using electronic resources in the context of researching information for authentic school assignments. The researchers investigated runability…
