Direct linkLee, Minkyung; Clariana, Roy B. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
This experimental investigation considers how the inherent conceptual structure of external representations influences individuals' knowledge structure, and in addition proposes a measure of global collective knowledge to account for the influence of pre-existing knowledge structure. In two studies, undergraduates in a hospitality management…

Mochizuki, Toshio; Nishimori, Toshihisa; Tsubakimoto, Mio; Oura, Hiroki; Sato, Tomomi; Johansson, Henrik; Nakahara, Jun; Yamauchi, Yuhei – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2019
This paper describes the development of a software program that supports argumentative reading and writing, especially for novice students. The software helps readers create a graphic organizer from the text as a knowledge map while they are reading and use their prior knowledge to build their own opinion as new information while they think about…

Novak, Elena; Daday, Jerry; McDaniel, Kerrie – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2018
This empirical study used Keller's (Technol Instr Cogn Learn 16:79-104, 2008b) motivation, volition, and performance (MVP) theory to develop and statistically evaluate a mathematical MVP model that can serve as a research and policy tool for evaluating students' learning experiences in digital environments. Specifically, it explored undergraduate…

Cheng, Li; Beal, Carole R. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of student-generated drawing and imagination on learning recall, learning transfer, and cognitive load, and also students' attitudes towards the learning strategies when learning a computer-based science text, compared to learning with provided pictures. The study used three groups: drawing…

Lim, Jung; Reiser, Robert A.; Olina, Zane – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2009
This study was designed to investigate the effects of two instructional approaches (whole-task versus part-task) and two levels of learner prior knowledge (lower versus higher) on learner acquisition and transfer of a complex cognitive skill. Participants were 51 undergraduate pre-service teachers. In the part-task condition, a complex skill…

Cromley, Jennifer G.; Azevedo, Roger – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2009
New literacies researchers have identified a core set of strategies for locating information, one of which is "reading a Web page to locate information that might be present there" (Leu et al. in: Rush, Eakle, Berger (eds) "Secondary school reading and writing: What research reveals for classroom practices," 2007, p. 46). Do middle-school, high…

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…
