Kienzler, Julia; Voss, Thamar; Wittwer, Jörg – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Teachers need knowledge about operant conditioning as an important way to prevent student misbehavior. In an experiment with 181 student teachers, we investigated how the acquisition of conceptual knowledge about operant conditioning can be promoted through case comparisons. Our results showed that case comparison effectively supported the…

Background: Cognitive load (CL) management is essential in safety-critical fields so that professionals can monitor and control their cognitive resources efficiently to perform and solve scenarios in a timely and safe manner, even in complex and unexpected circumstances. Thus, cognitive load theory (CLT) can be used to design virtual reality (VR)…

Mutlu-Bayraktar, Duygu; Ozel, Pinar; Altindis, Fatih; Yilmaz, Bulent – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
The aim of this study is to compare subjective and objective cognitive load measurements in a multimedia learning environment. For this purpose, 20 university students studied in multimedia environments designed by researchers during which eye movements and multichannel electroencephalography (EEG) signals were recorded. Self-report ratings were…

Chen, Yun-Zu; Yang, Kai-Lin – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2023
This study investigated whether the three variables of task form, squares carried, and figural complexity, for designing cube folding tasks, affect sixth graders' cube folding performance. Two task forms were used to develop two versions of "cube folding test." Each version was designed based on two levels of squares carried and three…

Citrohn, Björn; Stolpe, Karin; Svensson, Maria – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
In this study, we aim to investigate activities using models in a design project in three technology classrooms. Activities that use models are important for students' development of knowledge and skills connected to the design process. Nevertheless, few empirical studies have thus far examined how models and modelling are used in a classroom…

Wind, Stefanie A.; Ge, Yuan – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2023
In selected-response assessments such as attitude surveys with Likert-type rating scales, examinees often select from rating scale categories to reflect their locations on a construct. Researchers have observed that some examinees exhibit "response styles," which are systematic patterns of responses in which examinees are more likely to…

Kuhlmann, Shelbi L.; Bernacki, Matthew L.; Greene, Jeffrey A. – New Directions for Teaching and Learning, 2023
The affordances of computer-based learning environments make them powerful tools for conveying information in higher education. However, to most effectively use these environments, students must be adept at self-regulating their learning. This self-regulation is effortful, including a myriad of processes, including defining tasks, making plans,…

Kadir, Munirah Shaik; Yeung, Alexander Seeshing; Caleon, Imelda Santos; Diallo, Thierno M. O.; Forbes, Anne; Koh, Wei Xun – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2023
Load reduction instruction (LRI) is an instructional approach designed to manage the cognitive load on students as they learn complex learning materials. According to Cognitive Load Theory, complex learning is associated with high cognitive load and when not effectively managed, could impede learning. Inquiry-based learning with hands-on…

Chang, Chi-Cheng; Chen, Tseng-Chuan – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
The study aimed to examine how emotional design and digitalization/mobilization of textbooks influence students' emotion, cognitive load, and cognitive performance. Research samples were 147 undergraduate students enrolling in the "Introduction to Internet" course at a university. They were randomly divided into three groups: 51 students…

Pentecost, Thomas C.; Raker, Jeffery R.; Murphy, Kristen L. – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2023
Using multiple versions of an assessment has the potential to introduce item environment effects. These types of effects result in version dependent item characteristics (i.e., difficulty and discrimination). Methods to detect such effects and resulting implications are important for all levels of assessment where multiple forms of an assessment…

Ngu, Bing Hiong; Phan, Huy P. – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2023
The design principles of cognitive load theory and learning by analogy has independently contributed to our understanding why an instruction will or will not work. In an experimental study involving 97 Year 9 Australian students conducted in regular classrooms, we evaluated the effect of the unguided problem-solving approach, worked examples…

Mahmut Sami Koyuncu; Mehmet Sata – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2023
The main aim of this study was to introduce the ConQuest program, which is used in the analysis of multivariate and multidimensional data structures, and to show its applications on example data structures. To achieve this goal, a basic research approach was applied. Thus, how to use the ConQuest program and how to prepare the data set for…

Lee, Carol D. – Reading Teacher, 2023
This paper pushes beyond current debates over what is being called the science of reading to articulate a multidimensional complex conception of what is entailed in reading comprehension. Reading comprehension entails not only cognitive processes, but equally important is how issues of identity along multiple dimensions, perceptions of tasks and…

Pinar Ozel; Duygu Mutlu-Bayraktar; Tugba Altan; Veysel Coskun; Ali Olamat – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This study aims to conduct a systematic review of studies on neuroimaging measurements used in multimedia learning research. The particular aim of the review is to explore how cognitive processes in multimedia learning are studied with relevant variables through neuroimaging technology. Studies that met the inclusive criteria were selected and…

Vincent Bourassa Bedard; Natacha Trudeau; Andrea A. N. MacLeod – Journal of Child Language, 2023
Current understanding of word-finding (WF) difficulties in children and their underlying language processing deficit is poor. Authors have proposed that different underlying deficits may result in different profiles. The current study aimed to better understand WF difficulties by identifying difficult tasks for children with WF difficulties and by…
