Lazonder, Ard W.; Egberink, Angelique – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2014
Direct instruction is a proven effective method to strengthen children's ability to design unconfounded experiments using the control-of-variables strategy (CVS). Recent research suggests that task segmentation can also promote children's use of this strategy. The present study investigated this assumption by comparing the relative…
