VP with Paul Ginns #3: The Effects in Cognitive Load Theory
The Visiting Professor (VP) activity with Associate Professor Paul Ginns entered its third meeting. The VP held on May 2, 2023 explained the effects of Cognitive Load Theory, especially the influence of material order in learning. The lecture started at 07:30 WIB and was conducted online using the zoom platform.
Paul Ginns started with an explanation of the worked example effect and the completion problem. Students with less prior knowledge or initial abilities need to be facilitated with a worked example strategy, where students learn concepts using examples. The use of examples in learning, its effectiveness decreases as students' prior knowledge increases. This means that students with high prior knowledge will not be maximized in learning when learning using examples. This will result in expertise reversal effect. Then what if students have enough prior knowledge, but have not mastered the material completely? Paul Ginns explains that the completion problems strategy can be a solution to the problem.
The lecture ran until 09:00 WIB. As in the previous meeting, many participants were enthusiastic and asked various questions to the speaker. Paul Ginns provided answers that satisfied the audience's curiosity.
