Educational Implications of Analogy: A View from Case-Based Reasoning.

Kolodner, Janet L.

American Psychologist, v52 n1 p57-66 Jan 1997

Case-based reasoning (CBR) focuses on analogy in the context of solving real-world problems. Its research methodology of computational modeling is aimed at deriving hypotheses about cognition. As a plausible educational model, CBR can help refine education philosophy and practice and contribute to the design of educational software. (SLD)
