Abstract
According to Robinson’s cognition hypothesis, sequencing tasks in the Triadic Componential Framework (TCF) could drive learners to create better outputs as a result of the cognitive demand of tasks. However, there is a need to prove that task conditions in TCF demand different cognitive loads. The purpose of the current study was to investigate perceptions toward task difficulty of EFL learners performing tasks designed in the Triadic Componential Framework (TCF). The participants were 30 EFL students at Rajabhat Maha Sarakham University selected by purposive sampling. The instruments were a task sequence having a set of three tasks designed in the Triadic Componential Framework (TCF), a task difficulty assessment questionnaire, a report on time needed to complete the tasks, and a stimulated recall session. The results of the study indicated that the task sequence designed in the cognition hypothesis was proved to be in ascending order of cognitive demand by two assessments - the questionnaire and the stimulated recall. Meanwhile, learners seemed to spend the comparative amounts of time doing tasks in the sequence. It could be concluded that sequencing task conditions in TCF could lead to a task sequence that consists of tasks with different levels of cognitive demand as introduced by the principles of the cognition hypothesis. |
