| Abstract | The goal of the proposed research is to advance knowledge of how to apply cognitive principles about the understanding of temporally structured concepts to the design of animated STEM instructional materials. The focus of this research will be on STEM concepts that involve processes and transformations that unfold over time, such as photosynthesis and earthquakes. Relatively little is known about how students learn STEM concepts that involve a sequence of steps or phases compared to how they lea |
