Hettinger, Gary A. – 1988
This study of the application of cognitive style theory to the development of computer-based instruction explored two questions, i.e., whether computer-based courseware can be designed to address specific learner characteristics, and, if so, which characteristics. Several factors involved in the optimization of instruction are described: learner…

Peer reviewedKhine, Myint Swe – Staff and Educational Development International, 1997
Reports on a study that investigated the possible interaction effects between three levels of feedback (i.e., no feedback, knowledge of results, and elaborative feedback) and level of field-dependency in multimedia presentation among upper-level secondary school students. Implications for multimedia courseware design are discussed. (AEF)

Peer reviewedGrabinger, R. Scott – Educational Technology, Research and Development, 1993
Describes two studies that compared university students' judgments about the readability and studyability of two sets of computer screens: a set of model displays and a set of real screens copied from computer-assisted instruction programs. Relationships among viewers' preferences and field dependence/independence, conceptual style, and gender…

Peer reviewedLiu, Min; Reed, W. Michael – Computers in Human Behavior, 1994
Reports on a study that examined different learning strategies used by 63 Field-independent (FI) people and Field-dependent (FD) international college students in a hypermedia assisted language learning setting. Findings that describe the different types of media, tools, and learning aids chosen by FI and FD students are reported. (27 references)…

Peer reviewedMacGregor, S. Kim; And Others – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1988
Discussion of computer-assisted instruction and cognitive style focuses on a study of college students that investigated the relationship of student success in algebra and field independence-dependence. Topics discussed include the effectiveness of computers as instructional tools; treatments for experimental and control groups; courseware; and…

The effects of different types of feedback in computer assisted instruction were studied in 30 college students with different cognitive styles. The program, written in Apple Pilot and administered on an Apple IIE microcomputer, consisted of 16 problem solving tasks; for each, a graphic display and a textual question were presented. Two feedback…
