In the realm of e-learning, supporting personalized learning effectively necessitates recommending sequences of learning items that maximize learning efficiency while minimizing cognitive load, all tailored to the learner's goals. These recommendations must account for the prerequisite relationships among learning items and the learner's…

Learners make a number of decisions when attempting to study efficiently: they must choose which information to study, for how long to study it, and whether to restudy it later. The current experiments examine whether documented impairments to self-regulated learning when studying information sequentially, as opposed to simultaneously, extend to…

Teaching and learning are time-dependant processes. It can be hypothesised that the content coherence during a teaching sequence is an important factor of learning. In this perspective, it is of great interest to follow the occurrences of a notion and the development of its meanings in the classroom discourse, all along the various sessions of a…

Subjects learned one, two, or three verbal lists simultaneously. Recall of the common list after 24 hours increased directly as the number of lists learned simultaneously increased. Assuming that simultaneous learning reduced interference, the interference was from extraexperimental sources of a proactive nature. (Author/CP)

The sequences of learning sets (intersequence) and instructional events (intrasequence) were empirically validated for a hierarchy of concept and rule using skills. Experiments with high school students showed no differences between empirical and reordered inter- or intrasequence on time to mastery; nor was there a difference in the number of…

IN APRIL 1965 AT THE PRECONFERENCE WORKSHOP OF THE C AND I (CONFERENCES AND INSTITUTES) DIVISION OF THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY EXTENSION ASSOCIATION, WILBERT MCKEACHIE DEALT WITH CONFEREES' QUESTIONS RELATED TO LEARNING PROBLEMS TO BE CONSIDERED IN PLANNING CONFERENCES AND INSTITUTES. MCKEACHIE BROUGHT OUT THREE MAJOR PRINCIPLES--(1) LEARNING IS…

This study evaluated the generally recommended concrete-to-abstract hierarchy for presenting a new skill, with three students with learning disabilities in grades 1, 2, and 4. The three subjects enrolled in the Multidisciplinary Diagnostic and Training Program's classroom housed on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville. Following…
