Teaching Problem Solving: An Instructional Design Strategy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ross, John A.; Maynes, Florence J. – Canadian Journal of Education, 1983
Instructional design strategy for improving problem solving is presented. The strategy entails selecting an appropriate domain of problem-solving tasks, learning hierarchies, teaching methods and assembling of learning materials, and designing teacher training and evaluation. Obstacles to be overcome and directions for future research are…

Sequencing of Text Material in Relation to Information Processing Strategies.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Tillema, H. – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 1982
Ninety-five secondary students were given textbook material in which two sequence variations (web and linear) were used in relation to the information processing strategies (serialist or holistic) demonstrated by the students. Users of the web-structured sequence scored higher on concept retention. (Author/JJD)

An Example of Teaching along Natural Lines: An Instructional Sequence on the Use of Commas in Lists Based on the Hierarchies of Piaget, Bloom, Krathwohl and Harrow.
Phipps, Rita – 1981
An instructional sequence based largely on combining B. Bloom's six-level, instructional related hierarchy with J. Piaget's causal sequence of cognitive skill development is utilized in a three-day unit on the correct use of commas in lists. The sample unit follows G. Torkelson's guidelines for instructional development that include outlining the…

Effects of Four Instructional Sequences on Application and Transfer. IDD&E Working Paper No. 12
Chao, Chun-I; And Others – 1983
Using the Component Display Theory as an analyzing tool, this study compared the effects of expository and discovery methods of instruction on two learning outcomes, application and transfer. One hundred ninth grade students in each of four earth science classes were randomly assigned to five groups--four experimental groups designed to test four…

Interactive Effect of Information Structure, Sequence of Information, and Process Learning Time on Rule Learning Using Computer-Based Instruction.
Tennyson, Robert D.; And Others – Educational Communication and Technology, 1985
This study used secondary education students to investigate three instructional design variables hypothesized to improve rule learning. Results show structuring information by a schematic analysis improves learning over taxonomic analysis; response-sensitive sequency adapting instruction for generalization, then discrimination, improves learning;…

The Sequence of Conceptual Information in Instruction and Its Effect on Retention.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ranzijn, Frederik J. A. – Instructional Science, 1992
Describes two experiments in Dutch secondary schools that were carried out to study the effect of the sequencing of the information in computer-assisted instructional programs. Instructional design for concept learning is discussed; successive and coordinate relationships between concepts are explained; and tests designed for procedural and…
