Abstract

The present study was to explore whether dynamic visualizations enriched with visuospatial cues can optimize learners’ cognitive processing of mechanical systems. The animated conditions and cueing patterns were the independent variables with an attempt to investigate their impacts on retention and transfer tests. Either dynamic or static visualizations with the presence of visuospatial cues served as the instructional material. 238 English as a foreign language (EFL) learners participated in the experiment. The learners were distributed to six groups—either dynamic or static visualizations enriched with non-cue, entity-cues and arrow-entity cues. Their prior knowledge was initially assessed, and then followed by retention and transfer tests and cognitive load measurements. The experimental results suggested that dynamic visualizations enriched with progressive visuospatial cues was more beneficial in helping learners to develop favorable quality of mental models.

丰富视觉空间线索的动态视觉化对学习者认知负荷和学习效果的影响

本研究旨在探讨包含视觉空间线索的动态视觉化是否能优化学习者对机械系统的认知加工。动画条件和提示模式作为自变量，试图研究它们对记忆保留和迁移测试的影响。有视觉空间线索的动态或静态可视化作为教学材料。238名英语学习者参与了实验。学习者被分为六组，分别是动态可视化组和静态可视化组，其中包括非线索、实体线索和箭头实体线索。首先对他们的先验知识进行评估，然后进行保留和转移测试以及认知负荷测量。实验结果表明，具有递进性视觉空间线索的动态视觉化更有利于学习者形成良好的心理模型。

期刊介绍： The primary mission of the International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning (IJMBL) is to provide insight and understanding into the role of innovative learning theory and practice in an increasingly mobile and pervasive technological environment. As technology enables a more seamless experience of device-supported learning worlds that may integrate mobile, embedded, augmented, and immersive technologies, researchers, professionals, and academicians may expect to see increasing interest and activity in blended approaches to learning. IJMBL brings together experts at the forefront of this field, in both technology and pedagogical practice, and assists them in the development and dissemination of new approaches to both mobile and blended learning.
