Although physics education research (PER) has improved instructional practices, there are not agreed upon principles for designing effective instructional materials. Here, we illustrate how close comparison of instructional materials could support the development of such principles. Specifically, in discussion sections of a large, introductory physics course, a pair of studies compare two instr...

This paper is about some major trends that are occurring with respect to the development of task analysis methodology. One clear trend is that better methodologies are being developed to analyze cognitive tasks (e.g., Greeno, 1976; Gregg, 1976: Resnick, 1976; Landa, 1983; Scandura, 1983). Among the most promising developments here are methodologies for analyzing ways in which knowledge should b...

Abstract This study was an attempt to investigate the effect of collaborative form-focused activities on grammar learning of elementary EFL learners.
