Abstract:
The study aimed to identify the impact of employing the cognitive
apprenticeship model in e-learning environments on improving learning
effciency and reducing mind wandering among female students and
discovering the degree of continuity of the proposed program that employs
the cognitive apprenticeship model in e-learning environments on improving
learning effciency among students of Princess Nourah Bint Abdulrahman
University. This study was applied to a sample of )45( female students from
the colleges of Science and Social Service, )23( students as an experimental
group, and )22( students as a control group with an average age of )20.78(
years and standard deviation (1.19). Students were divided equally into two
groups, experimental and control groups. The researcher used students' project
evaluation cards, mental effort questionnaire, mind wandering scale, and the
proposed program for employing the cognitive Apprenticeship model in
e-learning environments. Research results revealed a statistically signifcant
impact of employing the cognitive apprenticeship model in e-learning
environments on improving learning effciency and reducing mind wandering,
as well as the continuity of the proposed program to employ cognitive
apprenticeship model in e-learning environments on improving the learning
effciency among students of Princess Nourah Bint Abdulrahman University.
In light of the research results, a set of educational recommendations and
research proposals were presented.
