Pair, Jeffrey; Calva, Gabe – PRIMUS, 2022
For a semester within a transition-to-proof course, mathematics majors explored two famous conjectures: The Twin Primes Conjecture and the Collatz Conjecture. Students were scaffolded into exploring the conjectures through directed activities but were also expected to create their own methods of exploration. We documented students' experiences…

Nievelstein, Fleurie; van Gog, Tamara; van Dijck, Gijs; Boshuizen, Henny P. A. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 2013
The worked example effect indicates that learning by studying worked examples is more effective than learning by solving the equivalent problems. The expertise reversal effect indicates that this is only the case for novice learners; once prior knowledge of the task is available problem solving becomes more effective for learning. These effects,…
