工作记忆容量对软件操作技能教学视频自主学习效果和认知负荷的影响研究

Research on the Effect of Working Memory Capacity on Self-learning Achievement and Cognitive Load of the Instructional Video of Software Operation Skills

为检验工作记忆容量对软件操作技能教学视频自主学习效果和认知负荷的影响,文章采用3-back工作范式测验工作记忆容量,从114名大学生被试中筛选出工作记忆容量最高的24名被试和工作记忆容量最低的20名被试作为研究对象,要求他们观看一段关于制作Power Point幻灯片的教学视频,随后测量被试的自主学习效果和认知负荷。研究结果表明:较高的工作记忆容量对被试学习软件操作技能教学视频的自主学习效果和内、外在认知负荷均会产生积极影响,但对相关认知负荷的影响不明显。此研究结论丰富了工作记忆容量对教学视频自主学习效果影响的研究成果、验证了认知负荷理论的相关观点,可为教学视频或在线学习平台的开发、教学视频的学习提供理论参考。

In order to examine the effect of working memory capacity on self-learning achievement and cognitive load of the instructional video of software operation skills,a 3-back working paradigm was used to test the working memory capacity.Meanwhile,24 participants who had the highest working memory and 20 participants who had the lowest working memory were selected from 114 college students.The sectioned subjects were then arranged to watch an instructional video on how to make PowerPoint slides,and further their self-learning achievement and cognitive load were measured.The results indicated that the relatively high working memory capacity had a positive impact on the subjects’self-learning achievement,internal and external cognitive load of learning the instructional video of software operation skills,while its effect on the relevant cognitive load was not significant.The results of this paper enriched the theory of how working memory capacity influencing the self-learning achievement of instructional videos,verified related viewpoints of cognitive load theory,and provided theoretical reference for the design of instructional videos or online learning platforms,as well as video-based learning.
