Abstract
"IF EVERYTHING IS TOPSY-TURVY, I FEEL AT HOME" TOLERANCE OF AMBIGUITY AND TRANSFER It was investigated to what extent the effects of different instructional conditions are a function of the subjects' tolerance of ambiguity. 60 economics students from a vocational school learned by exploring a computer-based simulation of a company. In a 2´2 factorial design, the learning context (uniform vs. multiple) and the additional instructional support (unguided vs. guided problem solving) were varied. With respect to both near and far transfer, learners in the conditions multiple/guided and uniform/unguided were most successful. However, especially in the case of near transfer this effects mainly resulted from the fact that subjects with high tolerance of ambiguity profited most from these two learning conditions.
Abstract
Es wurde untersucht, inwieweit die Effekte verschiedener instruktionaler Bedingungen auf den Erwerb transferierbaren Wissens von der Ambiguitätstoleranz der Lernenden abhängen. 60 kaufmännische Berufsschüler(innen) lernten anhand einer computerbasierten Unternehmenssimulation. In einem 2x2-faktoriellen Design wurden der Lernkontext (uniform vs. multipel) und die zusätzliche instruktionale Unterstützung (ungeleitetes vs. geleitetes Problemlösen) variiert. Es zeigte sich, daß sowohl im Falle des nahen wie des weiten Transfers die Bedingungen Multipel/Geleitet und Uniform/Ungeleitet zu den besten Lernergebnissen führten. Insbesondere beim nahen Transfer war dies jedoch darauf zurückzuführen, daß in erster Linie die hoch Ambiguitätstoleranten von diesen Lernbedingungen profitierten.
