Direct linkD'Eon, Marcel; Yasinian, Maryam – Higher Education Research and Development, 2022
In this article, we propose a new model of student workload. We conducted an extensive literature review of student workload, its impact on students' lives, factors influencing student workload, objective and subjective measurements. The previous conceptualizations of student workload conflate student work and course workload, two related but…

Gyllen, J.; Stahovich, T.; Mayer, R. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
Time on task has been recognized as an important variable in academic learning, but self-report measures of study time are problematic. Therefore, this study employs an automated system for recording time spent reading a course textbook. College students in an introductory engineering course accessed their textbook online. The book contained pages…

Mihalca, Loredana; Mengelkamp, Christoph; Schnotz, Wolfgang – Metacognition and Learning, 2017
A possible explanation for why students do not benefit from learner-controlled instruction is that they are not able to accurately monitor their own performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether and how the accuracy of metacognitive judgments made during training moderates the effect of learner control on performance when…

List, Alexandra; Alexander, Patricia A.; Stephens, Lori A. – Discourse Processes: A multidisciplinary journal, 2017
Three indicators of undergraduate students' (n = 197) source evaluation were investigated as students completed an academic task requiring the use of multiple texts. The source evaluation metrics examined were students' (1) accessing of document information, (2) trustworthiness ratings, and (3) citation in written responses. All three indicators…

Reber, Rolf; Hetland, Hilde; Chen, Weiqin; Norman, Elisabeth; Kobbeltvedt, Therese – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2009
We investigated example choice as a new method for the teaching of formal theoretical principles. Formal principles are presented with several examples from different topics, and students choose the one that interests them most. Example choice might be related to prior knowledge, interest, or perceived control. In an experimental study, we…

Pastore, Raymond S. – ProQuest LLC, 2009
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of visual representations and time-compressed instruction on learning and learners' perceptions of cognitive load. Time-compressed instruction refers to instruction that has been increased in speed without sacrificing quality. It was anticipated that learners would be able to gain a conceptual…

Enhancing Self-Efficacy for Computer Technologies through the Use of Positive Classroom Experiences.
Peer reviewedErtmer, Peggy A.; And Others – Educational Technology Research and Development, 1994
Describes a study of undergraduates completing electronic mail and word processing tasks that investigated the effects of experience on attitudes toward computers and judgment of confidence, or self-efficacy. Use of the Computer Technologies Survey is discussed, and treatment of experimental and control groups is described. Survey instrument and…

Designed to develop a more practical model for adapting context to learner interests, this study used computer-based instruction to make alternative contexts for statistics problems--sports, business, education, or no-context--available for selection by individual learners. The subjects were 227 undergraduate students enrolled in required…
