Do Student-Generated Rational Sets of Examples Facilitate Concept Acquisition?

Griffin, Marlynn M.

Journal of Experimental Education, v61 n2 p104-15 Win 1993

Effects of student-generated versus teacher-generated sets of examples and the types of examples generated (rational set versus nonrational set) on coordinate concept acquisition were studied for 96 undergraduates. Rational examples and student-generated examples do not enhance concept acquisition. Possible explanations are explored. (SLD)
