Consultation of Misconceptions Representations by Students in Education-Related Courses

This paper considers learner misconceptions information which is presented to the learner in an open learner model. We suggest that specific information about misconceptions may be of benefit to the learner, to help them reflect on their knowledge and understanding. We investigate acceptance of their misconceptions presented as animations and step-by-step text descriptions by two groups of users: trainee teachers, and computer engineering students taking an educational technology course. Our study revealed mixed findings. Keywords. Misconceptions information, animation and text, open learner model
