Show notes
For some of our podcast episodes, we are going to read blog posts, audiobook style. This allows listeners to access the written material from the blog in audio form, which we imagine may help some who don’t have much time for reading (but DO have time to listen in the car). It also allows us to bring some of our most interesting, important, and/or popular posts back into the spotlight. Today’s episode is our first of this type! In Episode 89, Carolina reads her blog post Who should Create Study Plans?
Highlighted moments
Participants indicated that they thought that they obtained more knowledge when planning studying themselves compared to having studying planned by a computer.
“Even though the self-generated study plans were perceived as being more successful to acquire knowledge than the computer-generated ones, there was no difference in knowledge assessment between the two conditions.”
“They further stated that for their own studying, they would prefer to plan it themselves. However, if they were to create a plan for someone else, they would prefer to rely on the computer-generated plan.”
“Only if the self-generated study plans were consistent with a predetermined structure, the participants were allowed to proceed.”
