Liu, Caihua; Zowghi, Didar; Kearney, Matthew; Bano, Muneera – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
Recent years have seen a growing call for inquiry-based learning in science education, and mobile technologies are perceived as increasingly valuable tools to support this approach. However, there is a lack of understanding of mobile technology-supported inquiry-based learning (mIBL) in secondary science education. More evidence-based, nuanced…

Sun, Yanyan; Yan, Zhenping; Wu, Bian – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Guidance has showed positive effects on promoting inquiry-based learning in science education. While an increasing number of studies focus on the design of guidance in simulation-based inquiry learning due to recent technology developments, how different designs of a same type of guidance affect learning remains a question. Objectives:…

Michinov, Nicolas; Anquetil, Éric; Michinov, Estelle – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
Peer Instruction is an active learning method widely used in higher education, whereby students answer a series of questions twice, once before and once after peer discussion. There is an ongoing debate as to whether a collective feedback should be given after the students' initial answer, and if so, how the frequently observed group conformity…

Navratil, Sabrina D.; Kühl, Tim – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2019
Self-generated learning (SGL) activities are characterized as an active learning strategy that functions as a support for deeper comprehension. However, the question arises which factors could be essential to fully exploit the effectiveness of SGL activities. One possible factor may be the emotional state of learners during learning. Because…

Richter, Juliane; Lachner, Andreas; Jacob, Leonie; Bilgenroth, Friederike; Scheiter, Katharina – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Engaging students in computer-assisted guided inquiry learning has great potential to scaffold their scientific understanding: Students are expected to improve their scientific problem-solving skills, and at the same time gain a deep conceptual understanding of the subject-matter. Additional generative activities such as creating video…

Chen, C.-H.; Chou, M.-H. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2015
Facing students' decreasing motivation to pursue scientific study, schools and educators need to coordinate new technologies with pedagogical agents to effectively sustain or promote students' scientific learning and motivation to learn. Although the provision of pedagogical agents in student learning has been studied previously, it is not clear…

Martí-Parreño, J.; Méndez-Ibáñez, E.; Alonso-Arroyo, A. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2016
The use of games in education represents a promising tool to motivate and engage students in their learning process. Most of previous research on the topic has focused to develop theoretical frameworks or to conduct experiments as a means to analyse learning outcomes such as knowledge retention, problem-solving skills gains or attitudes toward…

Jimoyiannis, A.; Angelaina, S. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2012
Educational blogs are currently gaining in popularity in schools and higher education institutions, and they are widely promoted as collaborative tools supporting students' active learning. However, literature review on educational blogging revealed a lack of a complete and consistent framework for studying and assessing students' engagement and…

Huizenga, J.; Admiraal, W.; Akkerman, S.; Dam, G. ten – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2009
Using mobile games in education combines situated and active learning with fun in a potentially excellent manner. The effects of a mobile city game called Frequency 1550, which was developed by The Waag Society to help pupils in their first year of secondary education playfully acquire historical knowledge of medieval Amsterdam, were investigated…
