Cognitive Styles and Hypermedia-Assisted Instruction. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, July 2009, Pages: 212
With advances in computer technology, hypermedia has
played a vital role in the delivery of instruction.
The use of hypermedia as a learning medium has
prompted much research in the field of educational
technology. Different types of hypermedia-assisted
instructions have been designed, but not all learners
have benefited from the instruction. What factors may
contribute to individuals’ success or failure in a
hypermedia environment? Concerning the flexibility
and nonlinearity of hypermedia, perhaps cognitive
style of field dependence/independence (FDI) is such
a factor that may create a difference. This book
examines the effects of instructional aids and FDI on
students’ structural knowledge performance in a
hypermedia environment. It aims to evaluate whether
the instructional aids help students with different
cognitive styles of FDI acquire a richer
understanding of technology applications in Education
course content. The findings of the book will
contribute to design guidelines for instructors,
instructional designers and developers. It can
provide valuable insights for educators and offer a
framework for future research.
