Learner Control of Context and Instructional Support in Learning Elementary School Mathematics.
Morrison, Gary R.; And Others
Educational Technology, Research and Development, v40 n1 p5-13 1992
This study examined learner-control strategies for selecting problem context and level of instructional support on a computer-based mathematics unit on the metric system. Subjects were 240 sixth grade students assigned to 15 treatments. Performance was lowest under learner-control instructional support conditions even though subjects indicated positive attitudes toward learner-control strategies. (MES)
