Exploring the Effect of Graphical Metaphors on the Performance of Learning Computer Programming Concepts in Adult Learners: a pilot study
TL;DR: The effect of instructional materials enhanced with textual metaphors versus graphical metaphors was investigated in this article, where a total of 37 adult learners attended one lecture and two tutorials to learn how to write programming algorithms and all participants completed Riding and Cheema's Cognitive Styles Analysis (CSA) to measure their position on two cognitive style dimensions: Wholist-Analytic and Verbal Imagery.
