Learning To Solve Compare Word Problems: The Effect of Example Format and Generating Self-Explanations.
Mwangi, Wangari; Sweller, John
Cognition and Instruction, v16 n2 p173-99 1998
First of three experiments compared third graders who had studied worked, two-step arithmetic word problems to those learning through conventional problem solving. The former grouped showed superior test performance. In experiments two and three, children presented with integrated worked examples outperformed those presented with split-source worked examples, but there was no significant effect of asking learners to generate self-explanations.
