Star, Jon R.; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany – Learning and Instruction, 2008
A key learning outcome in problem-solving domains is the development of flexible knowledge, where learners know multiple strategies and adaptively choose efficient strategies. Two interventions hypothesized to improve flexibility in problem solving were experimentally evaluated: prompts to discover multiple strategies and direct instruction on…

Peer reviewedAinsworth, Shaaron; O'Malley, Claire; Wood, David – Learning and Instruction, 1998
Two experiments involving 90 primary and intermediate-grade students studied how the COPPERS computer-based mathematical learning environment advances children's understanding that multiplication problems have many different correct solutions. Factors affecting learning and theoretical implications are discussed in terms of scaffolding learning.…
