Andreas Lichtenberger; Tommi Kokkonen; Lennart Schalk – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Multiple external representations (MERs) are useful for teaching complex content in science education. An open question is whether there is an especially effective way to sequence MERs. On the one hand, the so-called concreteness fading approach suggests starting instruction with more concrete representations and proceeding stepwise to more…
