Eliciting Self-Explanations Improves Understanding
Learning involves the integration of new information into existing knowledge. Generoting explanations to oneself (self-explaining) facilitates that integration process. Previously, self-explanation has been shown to improve the acquisition of problem-solving skills when studying worked-out examples. This study extends that finding, showing that self-explanation can also be facilitative when it ...
متن کاملEliciting Self-Explanations Improves Children’s Performance on a Field-Based Map Skills Task
To investigate children’s ability to translate between the environment and an abstract representation, fourth graders were asked to indicate the location of colored flags by placing similarly colored stickers on a map. In the explaining condition, students wrote down what clues they had used; in the baseline condition, they placed stickers without explanation. The explaining students significan...
متن کاملUnderstanding Naturally Conveyed Explanations
One of the research goals of the field of human computer interaction is to make interacting with a computer as natural as interacting with a person. In pursuit of this goal, this thesis demonstrates a system that understands naturally conveyed explanations of mechanical devices in a way that traditional tools do not support. When using a traditional mechanical CAD program, for example, the desi...
متن کاملTowards Understanding Geometry Explanations
Previous studies using our PACT Geometry Tutor have shown that students learn mathematics more deeply in the same amount of time if they are asked not only to make correct problem solving steps but also to explain those steps (Aleven, Koedinger, and Cross 1999). In the current tutor, students enter the name of a geometry definition or theorem to explain a step, but our goal is for them to state...
متن کاملCreating visual explanations improves learning
Many topics in science are notoriously difficult for students to learn. Mechanisms and processes outside student experience present particular challenges. While instruction typically involves visualizations, students usually explain in words. Because visual explanations can show parts and processes of complex systems directly, creating them should have benefits beyond creating verbal explanatio...
