Learner-centered Instructional Design for improving Information-Organization Skills in a Hypermedia context in elementary schoolsMyung-Hee Kang·Hyun-Jung WooThis study was to explore a method to improve information-organization skills in a hypermedia environment for elementary school students. A cognitive model of information organization skills and an learner-centered instructional design were developed. The cognitive model composed of five steps which are deciding subject,  searching data, organizing data, presenting information organized, reflecting and revising. Also the instructional design from the constructivism approach includes the project method, cooperative learning, and a hypermedia learning tool of Power Point. An experiment to verify the effect of the instructional design was conducted and 66 5th grade students(36 students in the experimental group and 33 students in the control group) in an elementary school participated in this study for a year. The experimental group was given model-based instruction. The control group received general classroom instruction. Information organization abilities were assessed by a written test and a product assessment at a two different time periods before and after model-based instruction. And achievement of contents was assessed by a written test after model-based instruction. The test results demonstrated that there were significant differences in pre-/post gains on performance scores between the groups. The information organization abilities in the experimental group improved significantly, while the control group did not. The test result of the achievement on contents showed that there were not significant differences in both groups. This result implies that information organization skills are not transferred to the achievement of contents learning.
