Initial Inductive Learning in a Complex Computer Simulated Environment: The Role of Metacognitive Skills and Intellectual Ability.

Veenman, M. V. J.; Prins, F. J.; Elshout, J. J.

Computers in Human Behavior, v18 n3 p327-41 May 2002

Discusses conceptual knowledge acquisition using computer simulation and describes a study of undergraduates that examined the role of metacognitive skillfulness and intellectual ability during initial inductive learning with a complex computer simulation. Results showed that metacognitive skillfulness was positively related to learning behavior and to scores on qualitative tests. (Author/LRW)
