Garces, Sebastian; Vieira, Camilo; Ravai, Guity; Magana, Alejandra J. – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Worked examples can help novice learners develop early schemata from an expert's solution to a problem. Nonetheless, the worked examples themselves are no guarantee that students will explore these experts' solutions effectively. This study explores two different approaches to supporting engineering technology students' learning in an…
