Content Structure and Instructional Control Strategies as Design Variables in Concept Acquisition.
Tennyson, Carol L.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v72 n4 p499-505 Aug 1980
Senior high students who were given concepts simultaneously learned more than those who received concepts successively. A second variable, instructional control strategy, contrasted an adaptive (computer-assisted) control strategy with learner control. Performance was above the criterion level for the adaptive condition, but below it for learner control. (Author/GDC)
