It is widely acknowledged that the comprehension of science and technological artifacts is very difficult for both children and adults. The material is conceptually complex, there is very little background knowledge for most individuals, and the materials are often poorly written. Therefore, it is no surprise that students are turned off from learning science and technology. Given these challenges, it is important to design scientific text in a fashion that fits theScienceStudy and teachingPsychological aspectsScienceTextbooksElectronic books.ScienceStudy and teachingPsychological aspects.Science501/.9Otero José911851León José A911852Graesser Arthur C911853MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450756103321The psychology of science text comprehension2041977UNINA
