Abstract:

 

Animations are
widely used in today’s science classrooms. Therefore it is very important to
explore under which conditions animations are most effective. In earlier
studies it has been generally shown that the effectiveness of instruction
largely depends on management of cognitive load. The aim of the present study
was to compare the effect of Physlet animations, printed sequences of selected
animation frames and traditionally presented static pictures on understanding
about lenses and levels of cognitive load. According to the results of a quasi-experiment
that included forty nine high-school students, Physlet-based teaching generally
leads to higher germane load and consequently to more effective learning than
the traditional approach. Particularly high levels of germane load have been
found for Physlet-based problems. These findings can be accounted for by the
interactivity feature of Physlets. .
