The Effects of Program Embedded Learning Strategies, Using an Imagery Cue Strategy and an Attention Directing Strategy, to Improve Learning from Micro Computer Based Instruction (MCBI).
Taylor, William; And Others – 1987
The effects of the Attention Directing Strategy and Imagery Cue Strategy as program embedded learning strategies for microcomputer-based instruction (MCBI) were examined in this study. Eight learning conditions with identical instructional content on the parts and operation of the human heart were designed: either self-paced or externally-paced,…
