Description¶

Among the Table 1 assumptions, the paper holds that learners make, or can be guided to make, effective choices. Stated functions include supporting development of the learner's "need to know" information, establishing an anchor upon which further information can be added, and learners seeing errors as a cue for further information while working toward a goal.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Environments must provide guidance structures so learner choices become effective rather than random

Constraints¶

• Stated as an assumption with proposed functions; no empirical test of the guidance strategy is reported

Target Learners¶

• learners in student-centered, computer-enhanced environments

Target Learning Goals¶

• self-directed learning
• building knowledge upon an anchor

Related Strategies¶

• Varying Levels of Choice in Assessments
