An interaction effect between young children's field dependence-independence and order of learning with glass-box and black-box simulations: Evidence for the malleability of cognitive style in computer-supported learning

作者:

Highlights:

• The study examined order effects of learning with glass and black-box simulations.

• Children's field dependence-independence (FD/FI) was used as a classifying variable.

• The study used a counterbalanced measures design.

• An interaction effect was found between order of tools and learners' field type.

• FD learners performed best when they learned first with a black-box simulation.
