The Use of Worked Examples as a Substitute for Problem Solving in Learning Algebra
The knowledge required to solve algebra manipulation problems and procedures designed to hasten knowledge acquisition were studied in a series of five experiments. It was hypothesized that, as occurs…

Effects of schema acquisition and rule automation on mathematical problem-solving transfer.
TLDR
A series of experiments were carried out in which algebra transformation and algebra word problems were used to investigate relations between schema acquisition and rule automation on learning and transfer, hypothesized that schema acquisition would precede rule automation and that it would have a st-like effect.

Trends in introductory programming courses in Australian universities: languages, environments and pedagogy
TLDR
Results of this study are compared with two censuses previously conducted during 2001 and 2003, to identify trends in student numbers, programming language and environment/tool use, paradigms taught, instructor experience, text used and time spent on problem solving strategies in lectures and tutorials.
Applying cognitive load theory to the redesign of a conventional database systems course
TLDR
Cognitive load theory (CLT) was used to redesign a Database Systems course for Information Technology students to address poor student performance and low satisfaction, and to provide a more relevant foundation in database design and use for subsequent studies and industry.

Mindstorms robots and the application of cognitive load theory in introductory programming
TLDR
Cognitive load theory was applied to the instructional design of introductory programming workshops, and a controlled experiment was conducted investigating aspects of the interface, indicating that a truncated interface led to better learning by novice programmers as measured by test performance by participants.
