Training and Transfer of Complex Cognitive Skills: Effects of Worked Examples and Conventional Problem-Solving
Thirty six senior students in chemical engineering were randomly assigned to three treatment groups in an experimental study that examined the impact of different instructional strategies for troubleshooting malfunctions in a computer-based simulation of a chemical processing plant. In two groups, different types of worked examples, process-oriented and product-oriented, were given to participa...
متن کاملTutored Problem Solving vs . “ Pure ” Worked Examples
At present a handful of comparisons have been made of different variants of worked examples and tutored problem solving. There is some evidence to report a benefit of adding worked examples (WE) to current tutored problem solving (TPS) environments. Our research investigated how a “pure” WE condition could compete with a TPS condition. By pure we mean the WE condition does not include tutoring,...
متن کاملLearning Problem Solving Heuristics from Worked Examples
Much human learning of mathematics takes place from worked examples, yet this is a subject that has not received much study in Cognitive Science. A major problem is to ensure that a model can learn in a general way, and not be limited to a small subset of mathematics, such as Calculus. This paper describes a computational model of how students learn problem solving heuristics. The model is impl...
متن کاملA Test of the Testing Effect: Acquiring Problem-Solving Skills From Worked Examples
The "testing effect" refers to the finding that after an initial study opportunity, testing is more effective for long-term retention than restudying. The testing effect seems robust and is a finding from the field of cognitive science that has important implications for education. However, it is unclear whether this effect also applies to the acquisition of problem-solving skills, which is imp...
متن کاملThe Impact of Granularity on Worked Examples and Problem Solving
In this paper, we explore the impact of two types of instructional interventions, worked examples and problem solving, at two levels of granularity: problems and steps. This study drew on an existing Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) for Probability called Pyrenees and involved 266 students who were randomly assigned to five conditions. All students experienced the same procedure, studied the s...
