Pi, Zhongling; Zhang, Yi; Liu, Caixia; Zhou, Weichen; Yang, Jiumin – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
This electroencephalography (EEG) study tested the benefits of generative learning and the underlying neural mechanism of these benefits when learning from video lectures. Twenty-six Chinese young adults independently viewed two video lectures in a repeated measures design. Each video lecture was broken into 40 segments, and after each segment,…

Pi, Zhongling; Chen, Minnan; Zhu, Fangfang; Yang, Jiumin; Hu, Weiping – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2022
This study tested the interaction effect of the instructor's eye gaze (direct gaze vs. averted gaze) and facial expression (happy face vs. neutral face) on students' attention and learning performance in slide-based video lectures. University students (N = 120) participated in the experiment in a laboratory setting. The results of ANOVAs showed…

Pi, Zhongling; Zhang, Yi; Yu, Qi; Yang, Jiumin – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
Much effort has been put into the design of video lectures, but little attention has been paid to the social environment in which learning takes place. The present study addressed this gap by assigning Chinese undergraduate and graduate students who had passed the College English Test-4 to learn easy or difficult English vocabulary words in three…

Effects of the Instructor's Pointing Gestures on Learning Performance in Video Lectures
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Pi, Zhongling; Hong, Jianzhong; Yang, Jiumin – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2017
Recent research on video lectures has indicated that the instructor's pointing gestures facilitate learning performance. This study examined whether the instructor's pointing gestures were superior to nonhuman cues in enhancing video lectures learning, and second, if there was a positive effect, what the underlying mechanisms of the effect might…
