Comparing Novice and Expert Perceptions of Interactive Multimedia Tools for Conveying Conceptions of Size and Scale
Source: Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 20(4), 441-465. October 2012
This study investigate how three different interactive multimedia tools for conveying concepts related to size and scale were perceived and experienced by two groups: (a) 224 novice/pre-service teachers, and (b) eight instructional designers and trainers of pre-service teachers.
Differences found between what these teachers and what instructional designers noticed about the interactive multimedia tools can inform the design of learning strategies for
pre-service teachers training on the adoption and evaluation of multimedia for learning.
Specifically, pre-service teachers focused on classroom management issues, but the instructional designers focused on aspects of instructional design and pedagogy.
