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. We hypothesized that schema acquisition would precede rule automation and that it would have a st

Managing cognitive load in information literacy instruction
Kirsten Hostetler,Tian Luo +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined how instructional librarians can incorporate principles from cognitive load theory to engage students in research and improve learning outcomes for a common library instructional delivery model, finding that there are limited gains in competency following instruction via this delivery model and participants disengaged from the primary task.

The accessing of geometry schemas by high school students
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the nature of prior mathematical knowledge that facilitates the construction of useful problem representations in the domain of geometry, and analyze the quality of prior knowledge in terms of schemas that provide a measure of the degree of organization of the prior knowledge.
The Science of Learning and Its Applications

TL;DR: Current approaches suggest incorporating both concrete and abstract representations of target concepts during instruction, and one particular approach is that of “concreteness fading,” wherein initial learning is supported with a concrete representation that is gradually replaced with a more abstract representation.
Acquisition of visual perceptual skills from worked examples: learning to interpret electrocardiograms (ECGs)
Kees van den Berge,Tamara van Gog,Sílvia Mamede,Henk G. Schmidt,Jan L.C.M. van Saase,Remy M. J. P. Rikers +5 more
TL;DR: This study investigated whether worked examples would also be a useful instructional format for the acquisition of visual perceptual skills, which play an important role in many domains, and especially in health sciences.

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.
