  • Investigating construct validity of cognitive load measurement using single-item subjective rating scales

    Open AccessKatrin Schuessler, Vanessa Fischer et al.ARTICLEInstructional Science2025References: 55

    Cognitive load studies are mostly centered on information on perceived cognitive load. Single-item subjective rating scales are the dominant measurement practice to investigate overall cognitive load. Usually, either invested mental effort or perceived task difficulty is used as an overall cognitive load measure. However, the extent to which the results of these two single-items differ has not yet been sufficiently investigated. Although subjecti…

  • Developing and evaluating an e-learning and e-assessment tool for organic chemistry in higher education

    Open AccessKatrin Schuessler, Michael Striewe et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2024

    A convincing e-learning system for higher education should offer adequate usability and not add unnecessary (extraneous) cognitive load. It should allow teachers to switch easily from traditional teaching to flipped classrooms to provide students with more opportunities to learn and receive immediate feedback. However, an efficient e-learning and technology-enhanced assessment tool that allows generating digital organic chemistry tasks is yet to …

  • The Moderating Role of Interest in the Relationship between Perceived Task Difficulty and Invested Mental Effort

    Open AccessKatrin Schuessler, Vanessa Fischer et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2024

    Including motivational variables such as interest in the cognitive load framework is an ongoing process. Of particular interest is the question of how motivational variables influence the investment of mental effort. In this study, we investigated how topic interest affects the investment of mental effort in simple tasks. A total of 1543 students’ judgments regarding invested mental effort, perceived task difficulty, and topic interest for 32 tas…

  • Covid-19 school closures and chemistry-related competencies

    Open AccessAlina Behrendt, Vanessa Fischer et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2022

    The COVID-19 pandemic led to temporary closures of schools around the world, resulting in a change from face-to-face teaching to distance teaching, which had been practiced minimally until then. In this study, we investigated the effects of pandemic-related school closures on students’ chemistry-related competencies, at the transition from primary to secondary school. We also explored the extent to which at-home or in-school data collection influ…
