Richards-Babb, Michelle; Curtis, Reagan; Smith, Valerie J.; Xu, Mingming – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
We examined the use of problem solving videos (PSVs) as a substitute for general chemistry exam review sessions. We investigated student perceptions of course aspects regarding usefulness for supporting their learning of chemistry content. We also examined "how" students used the PSVs to further their learning. Students ranked the PSVs…

Klauer, Karl Josef; Phye, Gary D. – Review of Educational Research, 2008
Researchers have examined inductive reasoning to identify different cognitive processes when participants deal with inductive problems. This article presents a prescriptive theory of inductive reasoning that identifies cognitive processing using a procedural strategy for making comparisons. It is hypothesized that training in the use of the…
