Direct linkFrederiksen, Christian; Kehoe, E. James; Wood, Robert – Learning and Instruction, 2011
This study tested the effects of two instructional aids in a complex, dynamic environment, specifically, a business simulation. Participants studied (1) a "causal map," which depicted key variables in an interconnected network, (2) a textual outline of the same relationships, or (3) no-aid. With the relevant aid still available, the participants…

Lazonder, Ard W.; Wilhelm, Pascal; Hagemans, Mieke G. – Learning and Instruction, 2008
This study investigated how students' knowledge of a particular domain influences the type of investigative strategy they utilize in an inquiry learning task within that domain. Students with high domain knowledge were assumed to employ a theory-driven strategy, whereas less knowledgeable students were expected to start off in a data-driven mode…

Ainsworth, Shaaron; VanLabeke, Nicolas – Learning and Instruction, 2004
The terms dynamic representation and animation are often used as if they are synonymous, but in this paper we argue that there are multiple ways to represent phenomena that change over time. Time-persistent representations show a range of values over time. Time-implicit representations also show a range of values but not the specific times when…

Peer reviewedVeenman, Marcel V. J.; And Others – Learning and Instruction, 1997
The generality and domain-specificity of the metacognitive skills students bring to new situations were studied with 14 Dutch college freshmen in three simulations. Results support the generality of novice metacognitive skills across domains, and suggest that metacognitive skillfulness is partly independent of intelligence. (SLD)

Peer reviewedScanlon, Eileen – Learning and Instruction, 2000
Reviews results of three studies of groups working with science simulations, focusing on gender effects on science learning. Results from pairs of adults, pairs of 15-year-olds, and larger groups of young children show that particular features of the learning experience are altered by the gender composition of groups. Discusses implications for…

Peer reviewedVeenman, Marcel V. J.; Elshout, Jan J. – Learning and Instruction, 1991
Fourteen high-intelligence and 13 low-intelligence first-year college students worked in a structured or unstructured simulation environment to learn correlational principles. Thinking-aloud protocols indicate that high-intelligence subjects exhibit a better working method than do low-intelligence subjects, and that working method is a strong…
