Automation and Schema Acquisition in Learning Elementary Computer Programming: Implications for the Design of Practice.

Van Merrienboer, Jeroen J. G.; Paas, Fred G. W. C.

Computers in Human Behavior, v6 n3 p273-89 1990

Discussion of computer programing at the secondary level focuses on automation and schema acquisition as two processes important in learning cognitive skills such as programing. Their effects on learning outcomes and transfer of training are examined, the importance of worked examples is highlighted, and instructional design principles are presented. (60 references) (LRW)
