摘要:

AbstractPrevious attempts to examine the effects of different types of text format on reading have focused on the improvement of reading. The present study investigated the effect of using a text format that might be predicted to disrupt reading. In this study 56 individuals were presented with reading material presented in right‐justified format and in‘ragged’uneven line format. Subjects performed significantly worse on right‐justified material. Subjects who were classified as good readers on the basis of a pretest were more affected than poor readers. It is suggested that this may result from differences in the reading style of good and poor

摘要:

AbstractNumerous reports have appeared in the professional literature supporting direct instructional procedures. Studies with handicapped and non‐handicapped learners have identified teaching functions associated with student achievement. The present paper describes a sequence of instructional activities particularly well suited to the needs of mildly handicapped learners. Special attention is given to techniques that maximize teacher effectivenes

摘要:

AbstractA way in which some economical pictures for children will tend to be perceived incorrectly or inadequately as far as spatial depth is concerned is described. Some children's perceptions of depth in diagrams which varied in kinds and amounts of information on depth were investigated. It was found that an economical illustration style which includes information on depth is possible and that this provides a simple way of alleviating the shortcomings of such a style.

摘要:

AbstractFollowing an analysis of the stages in software production this paper argues that team production remains the only satisfactory method of providing highqualitysoftware but that the key to a higherquantityof reasonable quality computer‐assisted learning production lies in the development of support technology adequate to permit individual teachers to develop software within their existing curriculum framework. Three promising approaches—software toolboxes, CAL program shells and software CAL analysts—are desc

摘要:

AbstractMore than a decade has elapsed since Papert and his MIT colleagues combined cybernetic and Piagetian concepts into a user‐friendly computer program called LOGO; and five years have elapsed since Papert, in his bookMindstorms, extolled the virtues of LOGO, arguing that children who experienced LOGO learned much more than a computer language—they learned powerful ideas, skills, and heuristics as well. This paper examines the current state of LOGO and LOGO research and attempts to come to some conclusions about the efficacy of LOGO as a research and teaching t

摘要:

AbstractThis paper presents the major outcomes of a two‐year trial of the Open University's Cyclops shared‐screen telewriting tutorial system. The impact of the system is considered in terms of the human factors of the technology; tutors’and students’experiences of Cyclops; and tutorial activities and their acceptability to the parti

摘要:

AbstractInteractive processes are fundamental to all forms of training and learning activity. Within educational technology increasing use is being made of both simple and sophisticated machines as instructional aids. Because of their growing applicability in all areas of educational practice it is important to understand the basic nature of the interactive processes involved in using such machines. This paper provides an overview of the techniques and mechanisms of human‐machine interaction and outlines the status of some ongoing research trends in this are
