Learning with multi-representational texts in a second language: An eye-tracking investigation
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaafar, N. M., Ainsworth, S. E., & van Heuven, W. J. (2018, June). Learning with multi-representational texts in a second language: An eye-tracking investigation. Presented at International Conference of the Learning Sciences, London, UK

© ISLS. Integrating verbal and pictorial information is fundamental in learning multi-representational materials and is reported to correlate with various positive outcomes of learning. To investigate how non-native English readers engage with multi-... Read More about Learning with multi-representational texts in a second language: An eye-tracking investigation.

Designing Multimodal Composition Activities for Integrated K-5 Programming and Storytelling
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Whyte, R., Ainsworth, S. E., & Medwell, J. (2020, June). Designing Multimodal Composition Activities for Integrated K-5 Programming and Storytelling. Presented at ICLS 2020: The 14th International Conference of the Learning Sciences, Nashville, Tennessee (online)

A broad interest in embedding computing into K-5 settings has resulted in a proliferation of research on integrated approaches to programming. Although much of these efforts focus on supporting learning in science, engineering, and mathematics (or ST...

Designing for Integrated K-5 Computing and Literacy through Story-making Activities
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Whyte, R., Ainsworth, S., & Medwell, J. (2019, August). Designing for Integrated K-5 Computing and Literacy through Story-making Activities. Presented at ICER '19: International Computing Education Research Conference, Toronto ON Canada

Proponents of computing education have long stressed the value of computing for learning in other disciplines. Much of the research towards this end has focused on supporting learning in science, engineering, and mathematics (or STEM). However, a tre...

Drawing for learning from dynamic visualizations in science
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Stieff, M., Scheiter, K., Ainsworth, S., Bohrmann-Linde, C., & Schall, M. (2018, June). Drawing for learning from dynamic visualizations in science. Presented at 13th International Conference of the Learning Sciences (ICLS), London

This paper examines the efficacy of drawing for supporting learning from digital media, such as dynamic visualizations. Extant research on the efficacy of drawing for promoting learning from dynamic visualizations is contradictory. The discrepancy in...

Designing drawing activities to support simulation-based learning in quantum mechanics
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ainsworth, S., Kohnle, A., & Passante, G. (2020, June). Designing drawing activities to support simulation-based learning in quantum mechanics. Presented at Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning Conference, CSCL, Tenesse

In recent years, the argument that drawing can play a fundamental role in learning in the STEM disciplines has received much support. One area that is receiving growing attention is whether drawing is of value when students work with multi-representa...
