Reciprocative Dynamic Linking enhances learning by improving students' Representational Competence, which is the ability to connect multiple external representations (MERs). This new feature supports cognitive demands, leading to better understanding and application of procedural knowledge in engineering education.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Technology
  • Cognitive Science
  • Engineering Education

Background:

  • Learning from multiple external representations (MERs) is beneficial but challenging due to difficulties in developing Representational Competence.
  • Traditional dynamic linking strategies yield mixed results in supporting learners' ability to translate and relate information across MERs.
  • Learners often struggle to connect information across different representations, hindering effective learning in complex domains.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel interaction feature, Reciprocative Dynamic Linking, designed to enhance Representational Competence.
  • To investigate the impact of Reciprocative Dynamic Linking on students' ability to translate and relate information across MERs.
  • To examine the effects of this new feature on cognitive load and learning outcomes in an Electrical Engineering Signals and Systems course.

Main Methods:

  • A study was conducted with 24 Electrical Engineering students in a Signals and Systems course.
  • Participants were divided into two groups: one using standard simulation and another using simulation with Reciprocative Dynamic Linking.
  • Representational Competence and cognitive load were assessed using validated instruments, supplemented by interviews and screen capture analysis.

Main Results:

  • Reciprocative Dynamic Linking significantly improved students' Representational Competence.
  • The intervention led to enhanced learning outcomes, particularly in applying and analyzing procedural knowledge.
  • Reciprocative Dynamic Linking positively influenced germane cognitive load, providing necessary support for improved Representational Competence.

Conclusions:

  • Reciprocative Dynamic Linking is an effective feature for enhancing learning by fostering Representational Competence in interactive environments.
  • The study confirms the critical role of cognitive processing and supportive interaction features in effective learning from MERs.
  • Designing interactive learning environments should prioritize conducive interaction features that actively promote learning and cognitive skill development.
