Comparing the effects of worked examples and modeling examples on learning

作者:

Highlights:

• Two experiments examined how the design of examples affects learning.

• Written text + picture, auditory text + picture, and demonstration examples were compared.

• Adolescents learned how to solve probability calculation problems from these examples.

• Results showed that all examples were equally effective and efficient for learning.

• Presence of human models did not influence self-efficacy or perceived competence.
