Rummel, Nikol; Spada, Hans; Hauser, Sabine – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2009
In an earlier study, we had tested if observing a collaboration model, or alternatively, following a collaboration script could improve students' subsequent collaboration in a computer-mediated setting and promote their knowledge of good collaboration. Both model and script showed positive effects. The current study was designed to further probe…

Davidsson, Eva; Jakobsson, Anders – International Journal of Science Education, 2009
This study investigates staff members' ideas and assumptions about visitors' learning at science and technology centres. It also aims to explore in what ways their reasoning intersect with existing theories about learning within the field of science and technology centre research. The results of the study reveal that the staff members allude to…

Singer-Dudek, Jessica; Greer, R. Douglas; Schmelzkopf, Jeannine – Journal of Early and Intensive Behavior Intervention, 2008
This study sought to further investigate the effects of an observational intervention for two participants on the reinforcing property of pieces of string. Pre-observational intervention data showed that the neutral stimuli (strings) did not function to reinforce two participants' responding to a performance task or learning three new skills that…

Conley, Mark W.; Wise, Antoinette – Theory Into Practice, 2011
Researchers, policymakers, and educators face a daunting task these days concerning literacy education for the here and now and literacy for the future. Even though one clings to the romantic notion that education provides the building blocks in a straight line to a meaningful future, the reality is that mixed goals and instructional messages…

Technological Enhancements in the Teaching and Learning of Reflective and Creative Practice in Dance
Doughty, Sally; Francksen, Kerry; Huxley, Michael; Leach, Martin – Research in Dance Education, 2008
A team of researchers at De Montfort University's Centre for Excellence in Performance Arts has explored uses of technology in dance education. The wider context of dance and technology pedagogy includes research into dance, technologies, learning and teaching and the relationships between teaching and research. The paper addresses all of these…

de Bruin, Anique B. H.; Rikers, Remy M. J. P.; Schmidt, Henk G. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 2007
The present study was designed to test the effect of self-explanation and prediction on the development of principled understanding of novices learning to play chess. First-year psychology students, who had no chess experience, first learned the basic rules of chess and were afterwards divided in three conditions. They either observed (control…

Chrysostomou, Chrysostomos; Papadopoulos, George – International Journal on E-Learning, 2008
This work introduces the concept of an Object-Oriented Learning Object (OOLO) that is developed in a manner similar to the one that software objects are developed through Object-Oriented Software Engineering (OO SWE) techniques. In order to make the application of the OOLO feasible and efficient, an OOLO model needs to be developed based on…

Lozano, Sandra C.; Martin Hard, Bridgette; Tversky, Barbara – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
People often learn actions by watching others. The authors propose and test the hypothesis that perspective taking promotes encoding a hierarchical representation of an actor's goals and subgoals-a key process for observational learning. Observers segmented videos of an object assembly task into coarse and fine action units. They described what…

Lewis, Melissa L. – ProQuest LLC, 2009
Two theories guide two very different ideas about learning. Social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1977, 1989) places the greater emphasis on observational learning, or learning by watching a model produce a behavior before doing it oneself. Other researchers purport that experiential learning, or learning by doing, results in stronger learning (Kolb,…

Silla, Vanessa A.; Vesloski, Mary J. – Online Submission, 2008
The importance of play in child development and the barriers that individuals with autism face regarding play skills requires us to identify specific interventions which can assist in the development of such skills. Stimulus pairing, which has been documented as a procedure by which an event comes to elicit a response by being paired with an event…

Whiteman, Shawn D.; McHale, Susan M.; Crouter, Ann C. – Social Development, 2007
Although commonly cited as explanations for patterns of sibling similarity and difference, observational learning and sibling deidentification processes have rarely been examined directly. Using a person-oriented approach, we identified patterns in adolescents' perceptions of sibling influences and connected these patterns to sibling similarities…

Kong, Siu Cheung; Yeung, Yau Yuen; Wu, Xian Qiu – Computers & Education, 2009
In order to facilitate senior primary school students in Hong Kong to engage in learning by observation of the phenomena related to electrical circuits, a design of a specific courseware system, of which the interactive human-machine interface was created with the use of an open-source software called the LabVNC, for conducting online…

Strouse, Gabrielle A.; Troseth, Georgene L. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2008
Imitation of people on educational television is a potential way for very young children to learn new skills. Although toddlers in previous studies exhibited a "video deficit" in learning, 24-month-olds in Study 1 successfully reproduced behaviors modeled by a person who was on video as well as they did those modeled by a person who was present in…

Simcock, Gabrielle; DeLoache, Judy – Developmental Psychology, 2006
What do toddlers learn from everyday picture-book reading interactions? To date, there has been scant research exploring this question. In this study, the authors adapted a standard imitation procedure to examine 18- to 30-month-olds' ability to learn how to reenact a novel action sequence from a picture book. The results provide evidence that…

Peed, Steve; Forehand, Rex – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1973
In contrast to predictions of the information analysis approach, the amount of vicarious consequences did not affect preschoolers' recall of modeled behavior, while the type of vicarious consequences did have a differential effect. (DP)
