Worked example principle 1:
Fade from work examples to problems.
- Teacher fully works an example and then partial examples until students fully complete subsequent examples.
Expertise reversal effect
An instructional method that benefits novice learners does not help and sometimes even hinders learning of high knowledge learners
Worked example principle 2:
Promote self explanations
Active observing
Observing that facilitates engagement with the materials so as to encourage deeper processing
Worked example principle 3:
Include instructional explanations of worked examples in some situations
Instructional explanation - boundary conditions
- Conceptual understanding
- No self-explanation questions requiring a learner response
- Mathematical content
Worked example principle 4:
Apply multimedia principles to examples
Multimedia principles:
Use relevant visuals
Modality and redundancy principles
Present steps with audio alone avoid audio and text
Contiguity principle
Present steps with integrated text
Segmenting principle
Present steps in conceptually meaningful chunks
