Multiple External Representations(MERs)have been known to facilitate and strengthen learning processes,and are common in Technology Enhanced Learning(TEL)environments.However,learners face difficulty in translating between and connecting across MERs,leading to poorly developed representational competence.Improving representational competence requires additional support in enabling translation and integration of MERs.Although dynamic linking of MERs is a popular strategy,empirical studies are not unanimous in terms of its learning impact.The mixed nature of results demands further research that can contribute towards the design of meaningful interactions in TEL environments.This paper describes an exploratory study to investigate how additional interactivity in the form of Reciprocative Dynamic Linking could support learners in developing representational competence in TEL environments.Reciprocative Dynamic Linking is an affordance where a learner can select and manipulate each representation individually in a reciprocative manner.In this study,qualitative data was collected from screen captures,semi-structured interviews and open ended questions as students interacted with simulations incorporating Reciprocative Dynamic Linking.The results showed that Reciprocative Dynamic Linking promoted learners ability to relate and translate among MERs,thus facilitated the development of representational competence.Reciprocative Dynamic Linking also supported learners optimal management of cognitive resources and was useful in stimulating their inquiry process while integrating MERs.
