Palmer, Russ; Choi, Ikseon – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
The goal of this article is to propose a framework for understanding the nature of "how people construct problems" by interacting with situations and subsequently to offer implications for instructional design and future research. We propose that people must interactively frame the components of a situation in order to establish the…

Rosenberg-Kima, Rinat B.; Merrill, M. David; Baylor, Amy L.; Johnson, Tristan E. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
Novice programmers, who have yet to form effective mental models of the domain, often experience high cognitive load, low confidence, and high anxiety, negatively affecting learning and retention rates. These cognitive and affective limitations pose an instructional challenge. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a whole-task…

Hung, Woei – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2013
Today, much problem solving is performed by teams, rather than individuals. The complexity of these problems has exceeded the cognitive capacity of any individual and requires a team of members to solve them. The success of solving these complex problems not only relies on individual team members who possess different but complementary expertise,…

Nadolski, Rob J.; Kirschner, Paul A.; van Merrienboer, Jeroen J. G.; Hummel, Hans G. K. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2001
Presents a two-phase instructional design model that focuses on optimizing step size in whole-task approaches to learning complex, mainly non-recurrent, cognitive skills. Step size in a multiple-step whole-task approach-needed for the process worksheets-is determined on the basis of estimated part-task complexity. A developmental study of the…
