35.030 - Multiple Representations and Multimedia: Student Learning and Instruction
Fri, April 17, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Sheraton, Floor: Ballroom Level, Sheraton IIISession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Learning with multiple representations or multimedia plays an important role at school and can foster comprehension and memory. Simultaneously, this kind of learning material imposes specific requirements and often learners need instructional support for achieving understanding. This symposium aims at further illuminating core aspects of learning with these materials in the field of science and mathematics: characteristics of learning and assessment materials and learners as well as teachers’ instructional behavior. The five presentations contribute to better understanding how multimedia materials, including tests, should be designed, which preconditions learners need to work successfully with them, and which students profit from common instructional practices.
