Five Common but Questionable Principles of Multimedia Learning
Richard E. Clark,David F. Feldon +1 more
- 01 Aug 2005
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the early expectations about multimedia benefits that seem so intuitively correct that advocates may not have carefully examined research evidence for them and suggest alternative generalizations that are more firmly based on existing studies.

Metacognitive mediation in learning with computer-based simulations
TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to determine whether providing students with metacognitive instructions during experimentation in a computer simulation environment results in better learning outcomes than unguided discovery learning.

Intellectual and metacognitive skills of novices while studying texts under conditions of text difficulty and time constraint
TL;DR: This paper investigated the relationship between intelligence and metacognitive skillfulness as predictors of novice learning from text studying and found that metacognition, although correlated to intelligence, also uniquely contributed to comprehension of both texts.

Categorization and Representation of Physics Problems by Experts and Novices
TL;DR: Results from sorting tasks and protocols reveal that experts and novices begin their problem representations with specifiably different problem categories, and completion of the representations depends on the knowledge associated with the categories.
