Instructional Design For Deaf Students: An Experimental Study Of Multimedia Instruction And Cognitive Load, Soraya Cooper Matthews
Instructional Design For Deaf Students: An Experimental Study Of Multimedia Instruction And Cognitive Load, Soraya Cooper Matthews
Theses and Dissertations--Curriculum and Instruction
Given that students who are deaf face learning challenges as a result of delays in language acquisition and reading comprehension skills, educators presume that the use of multimedia will aid in comprehension of novel information as it does with hearing students. This study examined the impact of multimedia on comprehension and cognitive load for students who are deaf. More specifically, this study aimed to determine whether there is a significant difference in the learning comprehension and cognitive load of deaf students exposed to two multimedia formats, compared to students exposed to a single format. Research participants were 64 students recruited …
A Debriefing Technique In High-Fidelity Patient Simulation And Competent Decision-Making Abilities Among Nursing Students, Trena Seago
Theses and Dissertations--Curriculum and Instruction
Nursing faculty are utilizing high-fidelity patient simulation (HPS) with debriefing to help engage nursing students in making competent clinical decisions. This quasi-experimental study examined the use of HPS with debriefing and students’ ability to make nursing care decisions using standardized exams. The experimental group received debriefing after HPS and the control group did not receive debriefing after HPS. The pre- and post-test assessed participants’ ability to make clinical care decisions. The analysis of the pre-test and post-test HESI scores showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups.
The Use Of A Digital Game-Based Safety Program For All-Terrain Vehicles: Operational Knowledge For Youthful Riders, Mark Schneider
The Use Of A Digital Game-Based Safety Program For All-Terrain Vehicles: Operational Knowledge For Youthful Riders, Mark Schneider
Theses and Dissertations--Curriculum and Instruction
Given the exposure and preference of digital natives for games, along with the proliferation of digital devices, there is a need to determine how effective digital games are in conveying operational knowledge to our youth. This quasi-experimental study examined whether a digital safety game increased high school student operational knowledge of All-terrain Vehicle (ATV) safety in contrast to conventional PowerPoint ATV safety training with commensurate information. The first treatment group consisted of “in class” students participating in the ATV game, the second treatment group was made up of “free play” students playing the game out of class, and finally the …
Using The I-Learn Model For Information Literacy Instruction: An Experimental Study, Stacey Greenwell
Using The I-Learn Model For Information Literacy Instruction: An Experimental Study, Stacey Greenwell
Theses and Dissertations--Curriculum and Instruction
Given the proliferation of information and the lifelong importance of information literacy skills, there is a need to determine how to best design information literacy instruction in order to help students locate, evaluate, and use information more effectively. This experimental study examined whether information literacy skills instruction designed using the I-LEARN model increased student understanding and application of information literacy concepts as compared to how librarians currently provide information literacy skills instruction. The experimental group received an instruction session and an online library research guide designed using the I-LEARN model, and the control group received an instruction session and an …
A Hypermedia Simulation That Teaches Defensive Driving Skills, Borchyi Lin
A Hypermedia Simulation That Teaches Defensive Driving Skills, Borchyi Lin
University of Kentucky Doctoral Dissertations
Because of increased commuter traffic volume on rural roadways collisions between motor vehicles and farm equipment have increased in frequency and severity over the last several years. This study investigated the effects of a multimedia narrative simulation program that taught hazard recognition and promoted defensive driving on rural roadways shared by farm equipment. A companion animated driving game allowed users to practice reaction/stopping time distances with a simulated automobile on a simulated highway when objects appeared suddenly in the path of the automobile. The program and game were delivered by an objective-oriented client/server computer program that also recorded and stored …
