Instructional Variables in Meaningful Learning of Computer Programming / Richard E. Mayer.

Some 120 undergraduate students participated in experiments to learn how novice computer programers learn to interact with the computer. Two instructional booklets were used: A "rule" booklet consisted of definitions and examples of seven modified FORTRAN statements and appropriate grammar rules; th...

520 |a Some 120 undergraduate students participated in experiments to learn how novice computer programers learn to interact with the computer. Two instructional booklets were used: A "rule" booklet consisted of definitions and examples of seven modified FORTRAN statements and appropriate grammar rules; the "model" booklet was identical with the addition of a page describing computers in familiar terms. Two types of questions were used: generative and interpretive. Three experiments were conducted using various combinations of booklets and questions. Findings support the idea that a meaningful set of familiar experiences prior to instruction may result in a learning process of assimilating new material and organizing it in the context of that set.
