TL;DR: A series of experiments were carried out in which algebra transformation and algebra word problems were used to investigate relations between schema acquisition and rule automation on learning and transfer, hypothesized that schema acquisition would precede rule automation and that it would have a st-like effect.

Abstract: We carried out a series of experiments in which we used algebra transformation and algebra word problems to investigate relations between schema acquisition and rule automation on learning and transfer.

Persistence of elementary programming skills
TL;DR: Qualitative investigation of sustainability of programming competence by studying the effect of recalling programming competence long time after the educational activity has taken place shows that syntactical issues in general hinder immediate programming productivity, but also indicates that a tiny retraining activity and simple guidelines is enough to recall programming competence and overcome syntacticals issues.
Fostering modeling competencies: benefits of worked examples, problems to be solved, and fading procedures
TL;DR: In this paper, the effectivity of learning with worked examples and with fading procedures was tested experimentally, and the results showed that translation competencies were fostered best by way of example-problem pairs, whereas intra-mathematical skills were foster most effectively by a backward fading procedure.
Assessing Self-Regulation in Individuals With Visual Impairments Generality Versus Specificity in Self-Regulatory Functioning
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess self-regulation of students with visual impairments across two academic subjects, language and math, and find that self-regression is not context specific for individuals with visual disabilities.

Perspectives on presentation and pedagogy in aid of bioinformatics education
TL;DR: In this paper, a review collects a number of perspectives on multimedia presentation, visual communication and pedagogy for bioinformatics education, and the aim is to encourage educators to reflect on the great potential of live presentation.

Perception in chess
TL;DR: This article developed a technique for isolating and studying the perceptual structures that chess players perceive and analyzed the size and nature of these structures as a function of chess skill, and used the successive glances at the position in the perceptual task and long pauses in the memory task to segment the structures in the reconstruction protocol.

Schema induction and analogical transfer
Mary L. Gick,Keith J. Holyoak +1 more
TL;DR: This paper showed that if two prior analogs were given, subjects often derived a problem schema as an incidental product of describing the similarities of the analogs, and the quality of the induced schema was highly predictive of subsequent transfer performance.

Analogical problem solving
Mary L. Gick,Keith J. Holyoak +1 more
TL;DR: The use of an analogy from a semantically distant domain to guide the problemsolving process was investigated in five experiments as discussed by the authors, where subjects who first read a story about a military problem and its solution tended to generate analogous solutions to a medical problem, provided they were given a hint to use the story to help solve the problem.

The Use of Worked Examples as a Substitute for Problem Solving in Learning Algebra
John Sweller,Graham Cooper +1 more
TL;DR: The knowledge required to solve algebra manipulation problems and procedures designed to hasten knowledge acquisition were studied in a series of five experiments as discussed by the authors, where the more experienced students had a better cognitive representation of algebraic equations than less experienced students as measured by their ability to recall equations and distinguish perceptually similar equations on the basis of solution mode.
