An increasing proportion of education and training will require learners to make decisions about their own learning. One way in which schoolchildren can be prepared for this is by experience with computer programs which allow learner control. A term‐long trial was conducted with 14–15 year old schoolchildren learning mathematics from such programs. The choices adopted by these pupils are studied and some results are reported. We introduce two measures that may allow a characterization of choices made by individual pupils.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
