Self-explanation prompts in example-based learning are usually directed backwards: Learners are required to self-explain problem-solving steps just presented ("retrospective" prompts). However, it might also help to self-explain upcoming steps ("anticipatory" prompts). The effects of the prompt type may differ for learners with…

Bae, Haesol; Glazewski, Krista; Brush, Thomas; Kwon, Kyungbin – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2021
Scaffolding is one of the critical features in a problem-based learning environment to address challenges associated with problem solving. While transfer of responsibility is considered as an ultimate goal in scaffolding that is adaptive and contingent, it is rarely studied and practiced. Thus, the purpose of this study was to inform a deeper…

van Harsel, Milou; Hoogerheide, Vincent; Janssen, Eva; Verkoeijen, Peter; van Gog, Tamara – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
Presenting novices with examples and problems is an effective and efficient way to acquire new problem-solving skills. Nowadays, examples and problems are increasingly presented in computer-based learning environments, in which learners often have to self-regulate their learning (i.e., choose what type of task to work on and when). Yet, it is…

Yeo, Jennifer; Tan, Seng Chee – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2014
The introduction of problem-based learning into K-12 science classrooms faces the challenge of achieving the dual goal of learning science content and developing problem-solving skills. To overcome this content-process tension in science classrooms, we employed the knowledge-creation approach as a boundary object between the two seemingly…

Sockalingam, Nachamma; Schmidt, Henk G. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2013
This study investigated the relationship between problem familiarity and students' learning in a problem-based course. Problem familiarity in this study refers to the extent to which a problem fits with students' prior knowledge and experiences. As part of regular course work, 172 students were given two problems on different occasions.…

Jacobson, Michael J.; Kapur, Manu; So, Hyo-Jeong; Lee, June – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2011
This paper discusses a study of students learning core conceptual perspectives from recent scientific research on complexity using a hypermedia learning environment in which different types of scaffolding were provided. Three comparison groups used a hypermedia system with agent-based models and scaffolds for problem-based learning activities that…

Belland, Brian R.; Glazewski, Krista D.; Richardson, Jennifer C. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2011
Students engaged in problem-based learning (PBL) units solve ill-structured problems in small groups, and then present arguments in support of their solution. However, middle school students often struggle developing evidence-based arguments (Krajcik et al., "J Learn Sci" 7:313-350, 1998). Using a mixed method design, the researchers examined the…
