It describes the theoretical foundations and assumptions of cognitive load theory CLT , discusses the empirical findings about the application of CLT to the design of learning environments, and suggests new directions for future research. Dabei kann es vor allem in Situationen, in welchen die Aneignung von neuem Wissen notwendig ist, hilfreich sein, wenn dabei die durch das verwendete Medium vermittelten Inhalte an die kognitive Architektur und damit an die mentalen Ressourcen des Lernenden angepasst werden.
Brings clarity to the complexity surrounding cognitive load theory CLT and provides a user-friendly toolkit of techniques designed to help teachers optimise their pupils' learning. Foreword by John Sweller. CLT is rapidly becoming education's next 'big thing' and Professor Dylan Wiliam recently vouched for its significance as being 'the single most important thing for teachers to know'. It is natural, therefore, that teachers will want to know more about it and, more importantly, understand how they can adapt their classroom teaching to take it into account.?
Written by author and international teacher trainer Steve Garnett, this invaluable pocket guide offers a complete yet concise summary of what CLT involves and how it can impact on pupil performance.
Steve provides a wide range of classroom-based teaching strategies to help teachers avoid 'overloading' their pupils' working memories, and empowers them with the tools to improve learners' retrieval from long-term memory and get them learning more effectively particularly when learning new content.
Suitable for teachers, department heads, school leaders and anyone with a responsibility for improving teaching and learning. This book provides a comprehensive and critical overview of learning accounting. It illustrates that when learners need to mentally integrate two or more distinct items of information, it places unnecessary demands on cognitive load.
The book discusses the cognitive load theory, which assumes that the task of mental integration increases the load on already limited working memory, and it does so to such an extent that learning may be severely impeded.
The book also investigates how students could deal with cognitive overload when learning introductory accounting using three instructional design formats: the split-attention format, the integrated format, and the self-managed format.

Veena Publisher: Lulu. To improve student performance, teachers need to understand the evidence base that informs and helps improve their practice. An area of research with significant implications for teaching practice is cognitive load theory. Grounded in a robust evidence base, cognitive load theory provides theoretical and empirical support for explicit models of instruction. Research in cognitive load theory demonstrates that instructional techniques are most effective when they are designed to accord with how human brains learn and use knowledge.
This paper describes the research on cognitive load theory and what it means for more effective teaching practice. The first part of the paper explains how human brains learn according to cognitive load theory, and outlines the evidence base for the theory. The second part of the paper examines the implications of cognitive load theory for teaching practice, and describes some recommendations that are directly transferable to the classroom.
Efficiency in Learning offers a road map of the most effective ways to use the three fundamental communication of training: visuals, written text, and audio.
The book explores a cognitive load perspective on instructional guidance. Cognitive load theory is focused on instructional design implications and prescriptions that flow from human cognitive architecture, and it has become one of the leading theories of instructional design.

Abras, M. CLT can assist instructors in recognizing the limitations and potentials of human cognition and what instructional design practices should be considered in facilitating knowledge acquisition. This paper describes the CLT components and their implications for instructional designers. Biological brain processes have been studied through methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging Axmacher et al.
A deactivation of the hippocampal region was found to prevent working memory information from being stored thus supporting the importance of understanding brain processes and learning outcomes. He argues that efficiency within the human cognitive system has to encompass all five principles. Previous research Sweller, et al. Only after random information is tested for its effectiveness, rehearsed, and organized, can working memory information be stored into long-term memory.
Once into long-term memory, a learner is able to retrieve the abundant unlimited cognitive schemas to meet the demands of the environment Sweller, et al. These loads, intrinsic, extraneous, and germane are described as having unique individual characteristics yet additive properties that impact learning Owens et al. It is described as being a fixed and inherent quality of the learning task element interactivity Pass, et al.
It is considered a necessary load to be fostered within instruction. To foster a germane load increase, intrinsic and extraneous loads must be diminished which poses a significant challenge for instructional designers. This includes sequence and content amount, level of visual cues, scaffolding and training opportunities. The types of guidance embedded within the online learning environment must allow a learner to control his or her access to learning tools which can enhance his or her germane load.
Of significant importance for designers is the understanding of the borrowing principle, which emphasizes the acquisition of knowledge from a structured process thereby avoiding the limitations of working memory. This poses a conflict for instructional designers who design and delivery education based on a socio-constructivism, or constructivism paradigm. Instead complete information should be provided to the learner because based on Kirschner et al.
Bruggen et al. Although several strategies can be implemented to decrease intrinsic and extraneous load while fostering greater germane load, research is still needed on how to integrate CLT concepts within student-centered learning environments.
Many of the articles i. Kalyuga et al. Van et al. Classifying activities in this manner could provide instructional designers greater specificity of what tasks need to be adapted to meet novice versus expert learning needs.
These issues illustrate that the complexities of designing instruction based on CLT must further explore its integration among current instructional design models, methods, and teaching approaches that focus on group knowledge building. To foster germane load for both novice and expert learners, instructional designers will need to understand what fundamental components impact brain processes and learning, and in what context learning takes place.
As the field continues to explore the cognitive processing abilities and capacities of working and long-term memory, changes in how learning is presented and fostered will continue to be debated and researched.
