Level of interactivity and executive functions as predictors of learning in computer-based chemistry simulations

作者:

Highlights:

• Effects of executive functions and instructional format on learning were examined.

• With less complex simulations, students learned best with exploratory approach.

• With complex simulations, executive functions interact with instructional approach.

• Low executive functions students learned best with worked approach.

• High executive functions students learned best with exploratory approach.
