Educational program based on cognitive load effects was run in the experimental group. Participants completed algebra concepts test, subjective grading scale of cognitive load, efficiency measures of Pass and Merrië nboer, and a measure of achievement behavior assignments. The data were analyzed using of covariance analysis, multivariate analysis of variance, and chi-square analysis. Results showed that in the experimental group the academic achievement in algebra concept, efficiency, persistence on homework, and making effort to give correct responses was higher than the control group. Also, students perceived lower cognitive load compared to the control group and selecting problems with average difficulty was significantly higher in the experimental group.
