While research has documented the key role of monitoring processes during hypermedia learning, limited empirical research has used process data to examine the possibility that these processes mediate the relationship between motivational constructs (such as self-efficacy) and cognitive factors (such as prior domain knowledge) with hypermedia…

This theoretical review of Winne and Hadwin's model of self-regulated learning (SRL) seeks to highlight how the model sheds new light on current research as well as suggests interesting new directions for future work. The authors assert that the model's more complex cognitive architecture, inclusion of monitoring and control within each phase of…

Think-aloud and pre-test data were collected from 49 undergraduates with varying levels of prior domain knowledge to examine the relationship between prior domain knowledge and self-regulated learning with hypermedia. During the experimental session, each participant individually completed a pretest on the circulatory system, and then one 40-min…

Research shows that learners of all ages have difficulties deploying key cognitive and metacognitive self-regulatory skills during learning about complex and challenging topics when using open-ended learning environments such as hypermedia. This article provides an overview of the research my students and I have conducted on how the use of…

Framed by theoretical and empirical research on cognitive and intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs), this commentary explores two areas. The first focuses on lack of conceptual clarity of the proposed constructivist stance and its related constructs. The second deals with similarities between the proposed stance and existing approaches documented in…
