How Do Field-dependent and Field-independent Learners’ Interact with a Computer Modeling Tool to Solve a Problem? Implications for the Design of Joint Cognitive Systems

چکیده
Research accounts on examining only the performance of a system are not sufficient, because they cannot establish principles about how technology affordances work with learners, and how one should go about improving the performance of the system. Therefore, in the current study, a mixed-method research methodology was undertaken in order to understand how 119 learners with different cognitive styles interacted with a computer-modeling tool to solve a problem. Implications for the design of effective joint cognitive systems are also discussed.

The Effect of Metacognitive Strategies Training on Reading Comprehension of Field-dependent / Field- independent Learners
This study investigated how English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners with different learning styles (Field dependent and field independent) boost up their reading comprehension abilities as they develop their metacognitive skills. To conduct this research, 60 participants were randomly invited to sit PET (Preliminary English Test) to ensure homogeneity of the participants in terms of language...
متن کاملEffects of Metalinguistic Feedback on Grammatical Accuracy of Iranian Field (In)dependent L2 Learners’ Writing Ability
An increasing number of studies have investigated the effects of different types of corrective feedback. However, doubts have been raised whether field (in)dependent (FI/FD) L2 learners benefit differently from the explicit type of corrective feedback (i.e., metalinguistic). This study examined the (possible) effects of metalinguistic feedback on FI/FD intermediate L2 learners’ writing accuracy...
متن کاملField dependence-independence and instructional-design effects on learners' performance with a computer-modeling tool
The study investigated the extent to which two types of instructional materials and learner field dependence–independence affected learners’ cognitive load, time spent on task, and problem-solving performance in a complex system with a computer-modeling tool. One hundred and one primary student teachers were initially categorized into field dependent, field mixed, and field-independent learners...
