Theoretical Implications and Empirical Findings on Instructional Control and Part-Whole-Task Training

Abstract

A review of the literature and two experiments were conducted to examine instructional control and part-whole-task training methods applied to simulation training. The literature and results of the experiments indicate that learner-controlled systems are probably less effective than those that use computer programming to automatically adjust instructional support according to learners' progress during practice activities Also, part-task training methods may facilitate the effectiveness of instructional control by reducing the complexity of performance measures and en route learning tasks.
