Breznitz, Zvia – Journal of Educational Research, 1988
An experimental study involving 44 matched pairs of Israeli first graders found that reading at a faster pace increased comprehension and reduced errors in spite of the insertion of pictorial distractors. (IAH)

Coll, Joan H.; And Others – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1993
Discussion of the design of computer menus focuses on two experiments that examined task time across several orderings of menu lists. Findings are described that demonstrated that good physical layout in screen design is not sufficient without good conceptual layout. The size of menu lists for maximizing efficiency is considered. (Contains 17…

Singley, Mark K. – Interactive Learning Environments, 1990
Describes an experimental test conducted with high school students to determine the effect of posting explicit goal structures on problem-solving performance in an intelligent tutoring system for calculus. Related rates word problems are discussed, and student performance in terms of speed and accuracy is analyzed. (Contains 29 references.) (LRW)

Mevarech, Zemira R. – Educational Technology, 1986
Describes a study of second, third, and fourth grade children in Israel to determine if computer assisted instruction is utilized differently by different groups of students (younger and older), and extent to which effort expenditure (total amount of time a child is engaged at the computer) is related to achievement. (MBR)

Wasson, Barbara B.; And Others – Journal of Educational Research, 1990
Results of a study indicated that poor readers did not differ from good readers in starting to work on assignments, having necessary materials, or engaging in disruptive behavior. However, poor readers were off task more and volunteered less than good readers. (IAH)

Welsh, Thomas M.; And Others – Educational Technology, Research and Development, 1993
Describes a study of undergraduates that compared three strategies for indicating links in a hypermedia system to determine their effect on learner navigation and learner perceptions of ease of use. Highlights include three linking display types; the density of links; elaboration types; time intervals; and implications for hypermedia system…

Cox, Dorothy A.; Berger, Carl F. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1985
This study examined microcomputer use by individual students and groups of two, three, and five seventh- and eighth-grade students to discover any relationship existing between group size and achievement of a correct problem solution, and whether there is a relationship between group size and time to solution. (MBR)

Jones, Tom – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1991
Describes study of elementary school students that investigated the use of computer-based pointing devices. The time required to move to a target and the type of input device are examined, the applicability of Fitts' law is discussed, and the impact of input devices on processing rate is examined. (27 references) (LRW)

Nowaczyk, Ronald H.; Snyder, April D. – Computers and Education, 1993
Discussion of hypertext systems and navigation focuses on a study conducted with undergraduates at Clemson University (South Carolina) that compared a hypertext browsing system with a linearly based system for accessing information concerning college transfer courses. Results indicate that user perceptions and performance are more favorable with…

Newby, Timothy J.; Stepich, Donald A. – 1991
The effect of instructional analogy training on the level of immediate, as well as 14-day delay, comprehension of tangible and intangible physiological concepts was investigated. Ninety-four college-aged subjects were given training either with or without instructional analogies over five tangible and five intangible advanced physiological…

Ellsbury, Susan H.; And Others – 1980
Freshman botany students, graduate students, and student library assistants participated in a study to determine the effectiveness of a self-paced workbook on learning library skills in searching science literature and to determine staff and funding requirements to run larger scale instructional programs. The botany students comprised four groups.…

Morgan, Mark – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1985
Three conditions of self-monitoring of private study were compared for their effects on academic performance and intrinsic motivation. In end-of-year examinations, a group who self-monitored subgoals outperformed groups who self-monitored either time or study or distal goals on the target course of the investigation. (Author/LMO)

Gay, Geraldine – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1986
College students with varying degrees of prior conceptual understanding of a scientific topic were randomly assigned to a program-controlled or a learner-controlled treatment in a sequence of computer-assisted video learning. (Author/LMO)

Litchfield, Brenda C.; And Others – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1990
Describes study that examined the effects of presentation sequence of examples and example difficulty on undergraduate learning with computer-based instruction. Establishing example difficulty according to a generalization formula versus subject matter experts is discussed, and effects on time on task and the number of examples required are…

Kiestra, Maaike D.; And Others – Electronic Library, 1994
Describes a study that was conducted at Tilburg University (The Netherlands) to test the impact of system and domain knowledge on search behavior in an online catalog. Highlights include time spent on task; the number of search patterns performed; and search patterns used most frequently. (11 references) (LRW)
