Mirmoghtadaie, Zohrehsadat; Keshavarz, Mohsen; Kohan, Noushin; Ahmady, Soleiman – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2023
Identification of key factors affecting the self-directed learning process in the virtual environment of medical education is vital. In this article, we designed a model that describes the self-directed learning process in the virtual learning environment for post graduate students of medical sciences in Iran. This study was carried out in two…

Wan, Pengfei; Wang, Xiaoming; Lin, Yaguang; Pang, Guangyao – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2021
Learners' autonomous learning is at the heart of modern education, and the convenient network brings new opportunities for it. We notice that learners mainly use the combination of online and offline learning methods to complete the entire autonomous learning process, but most of the existing models cannot effectively describe the complex process…

Doyer, Ilse; Bean, Wilna L.; du Plessis, André – Bulgarian Comparative Education Society, 2023
This paper presents the use of the time-on-task analysis (TOTA) diagnostic model as an instrument to improve the efficient management of allocated academic time in schools and focuses on the descriptive analytics produced by the TOTA model. The model aims to analyse how time is spent during the school day to enable school leaders, managers, and…

Bohorquez, Carlos; Marquet, Pascal – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2019
This paper describes the first stages on the development of a design method of digital trainings using the collaborative authoring tool "ALO". Based on the theory of instrumental conflict (Marquet, 2005), this method highlights the necessity of the design digital trainings under the optimal harmonization for users/learners in didactic,…

Leblay, Joffrey; Rabah, Mourad; Champagnat, Ronan; Nowakowski, Samuel – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2018
How can we learn to use properly business software, digital environments, games or intelligent tutoring systems (ITS)? Mainly, we assume that the new user will learn by doing. But what about the efficiency of such a method? Our approach proposes an answer by introducing on-line coaching. In learning process, learners may need guidance to help them…

Melo, Mário; Miranda, Guilhermina Lobato – Journal of Information Technology Education: Research, 2015
This study was designed to investigate the effects of two instructional approaches (4C-ID versus conventional) on learners' knowledge-acquisition and learning transfer of the electrical circuits content in Physics. Participants were 129 9th graders from a secondary school in Lisbon, M = 14.3 years, SD = 0.54. The participants were divided in two…

Hoffman, Bobby – Learning and Instruction, 2012
Cognitive efficiency (CE) is generally defined as qualitative increases in knowledge gained in relation to the time and effort invested in knowledge acquisition. Across disciplines, limited consensus exists concerning the conceptual and measurement properties of CE partly because some researchers indiscriminately use the construct of CE to…

Bächtold, Manuel – Research in Science Education, 2013
This paper aims at shedding light on what students can "construct" when they learn science and how this construction process may be supported. Constructivism is a pluralist theory of science education. As a consequence, I support, there are several points of view concerning this construction process. Firstly, I stress that constructivism…
