The two studies detailed in this paper investigated the effects of adaptive sequencing of examples and adaptive feedback on concept learning using computer-based instruction. In the first study, two groups of undergraduate students progressed through a set of five behavior management concepts presented in the rational set generator framework.…

Gray, Susan H. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1987
Reviews study of 80 undergraduate sociology students which compared the effects of two types of sequencing in computer assisted instruction: (1) linear, or fixed, and (2) flip, or branching. Results indicate that students in the flip sequence condition performed better on comprehension measures but not on retention measures. (Author/LRW)

Friend, Cynthia L.; Cole, Christine L. – Educational Technology, 1990
Reviews current experimental research that deals with various aspects of learner control in computer-based instruction (CBI). Topics discussed include cognitive styles; computer anxiety; levels of field independence; sequencing; feedback; interactive videodiscs; branching in software menus; varying the density of text; and suggestions for future…

Steinberg, Esther R. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1989
Presents literature review of research studies that focused on students' learning processes and learner control of instruction. Highlights include computer-assisted instruction; information processing strategies; metacognitive skills; adaptive control; branching; sequence of instruction; feedback; learning strategies; locus of control; and…

Taber, Julian I.; and Others – 1965
Programed instruction applies what is known about learning to educational psychology. The success of programed learning is determined by the material used and by the construction of this material. In order to construct effective learning sequences, the behavioral end products of instruction must be specified clearly and precisely. The subject…

Peer reviewedGray, Susan H. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1989
Describes study that investigated the roles of locus of control and learner control over sequencing of content and the ability of undergraduate students to locate and retain information in computer-based instruction. The correlation of grade point average with accuracy of retrieval and retention is also explored. (41 references) (LRW)
