Over the years, two conceptions of the innate contribution to language learning and its elaboration during the learning process have been proposed.
This study explored the effects of active learning and types of elaboration on procedure acquisition (writing database queries).
Another "cloud" on this research field is about the further extending and elaboration for learning progressions of scientific explanation (Braaten and Windschitl 2011; Tang and Chiu 2010).
Based on the PTDR framework, we continue to focus on the second "cloud" –further extending and elaboration for learning progressions of scientific explanation.
Students in these systems use a variety of learning strategies - especially control and elaboration strategies.
Self-regulation variables that differentiated the two groups were perseverance of effort, and some learning strategies (elaboration, organisation, rehearsal, but not monitoring, planning and regulating) as well as resistance to peer influence.
Using a prospective, correlational design, 563 first year nursing students completed the three dimensions of sense of coherence scale – comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness, and five components of self-regulated learning strategy – elaboration, organisation, rehearsal, self-efficacy and task value.
This difference could be a result of PBL on the activation and elaboration of previously learned knowledge, whereby the students' reasoning skills might be enhanced.
Based on the above literature, so far, there has been so many studies on the effect of Input simplification and elaboration separately on the collection learning.
Although the results were invaluable in terms of teaching collocations to EFL learners, more research is needed on the way input flooding and elaboration affect other areas of language learning such as reading, grammar, etc.
