Robinson, D. H., Corliss, S. B., Bush, A. M., Bera, S. J., & Tomberlin, T. (2003). Optimal presentation of graphic organizers and text: A case for large bites? Educational Technology Research and Development, 51 (4), 25-41.
The purpose of this study was to examine the best configuration for presenting graphic organizers (GO’s) to students who are studying chapter-length text . GO’s were presented to students in three ways: as a comlete set (large bites), interspersed throughout the chapter reading (small bites), and in animations of cells within each GO. The GO’s were also presented either before or after the text reading. The study found that it is best to present GO’s as a set, before chapter-lenth text is presented.
