9. Crawford, M. and Berger, E. (2017). Understanding student use of worked examples to support problem solving via real-time measurements of problem-solving events, Proceedings of the 7th Research in ...

Experiments 2 through 5 studied the use of worked examples as a means of facilitating the acquisition of knowledge needed for effective problem solving. It was found that not only did worked examples, ...

An example of how universities can harness technology to foster creative problem-solving is in using virtual simulations. With virtual simulations, students are provided a “real-world” problem – in a ...

Introducing new math concepts via already-worked examples can give students a significant boost in learning. But choosing the right problems makes a big difference. An analysis earlier this year ...

The students showed a heightened motivation towards school, stronger computer skills, greater problem-solving skills, expanded reading and writing skills, a development in creativity and autonomy ...

But as they worked their way up the ladder of inference they began to notice different aspects of the image and add those to their “data pool.” “Students started to realize there was a lot more going ...

Or why they "totally get" apps on your smartphone faster than you? It turns out that young children may be more open-minded than adults when it comes to solving problems. Researchers at the University ...
