Abstract: This study investigated the effectiveness of dynamic video-text vs. static image-text presentation of online scientific conflict learning events on facilitating students’ scientific concepts reconstruction and explanations. Forty students were randomly assigned into dynamic video-text group to receive online scientific conflict learning events through visualizing the dynamic videos of the events with text, while the static image-text group received four critical static images of each event with text which were captured from the video. All students received pre-and post-scientific concepts and scientific explanation tests before and immediately after learning. Students’ eye movement behaviors were recorded during their learning with the use ...
