Timmermans, Rudolf E.; Van Lieshout, Ernest C. D. M.; Verhoeven, Ludo – Learning and Instruction, 2007
Effects of guided (GI) and direct instruction (DI) in solving subtraction problems for mathematically low performers in regular schools were compared. In the GI condition, self-development of solution procedures was encouraged whereas in the DI condition one prescribed strategy was to be used. Forty children (M[subscript age] = 9.3 years) were…
