Overcoming Screen Inferiority in Text Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metacognitive monitoring that accompanies a learning task reflects the predicted achievements at test during and at the end of studying the materials. Monitoring reliability is strongly associated with the quality of study regulation and with ultimate performance at test, because it is by this subjective assessment that people decide whether and how to invest more time. Previous studies that compared learning texts on screen to learning from printed texts found that screen learners performed worse and were overconfident about their success. The present research examined two methods for overcoming screen inferiority in these respects. Gaining experience with the study-test task with six different texts allowed improvement. Writing keywords after a delay from learning already eliminated screen inferiority from the first studied texts. In both methods, predictions of performance did not reflect changes in test scores. The two methods clearly affected screen and paper learners differently. This study outlines directions for overcoming screen inferiority, but also calls attention to the effects of context on cognitive and metacognitive processes, beyond the mere interaction between the person and the task content.

Previous research on the redundancy principle in multimedia learning has shown that although exact correspondence between on-screen text and narration generally impairs learning, brief labels within an animation can improve learning. To clarify and extend the theoretical and practical implications of these results, the authors of the present research examined the extent to which varying degrees...
