Instructional Visuals Affect Students’ Judgments of Drawing When Learning from Science Text

EasyChair Preprint 6169

Abstract

This study tested how instructional visuals affects students’ judgments of learning. Participants studied four texts with or without visualizations. For each text, students rated how well they would perform on a test of the material, how well they could explain the material, how well they could draw the material, and completed comprehension tests. The presence of visuals did not affect comprehension performance; however, it did significantly hinder relative monitoring accuracy, specifically for judgments of drawing.

Keyphrases: Metacomprehension, drawing, visuals
