Using Worked Examples as an Instructional Support in the Algebra Classroom.

Carroll, William M.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v86 n3 p360-67 Sep 1994

In 2 experiments with 74 high school students, subjects studied worked examples while learning how to translate English expressions into algebraic equations. Those using worked examples outperformed the control group on posttests, made fewer errors, completed work more rapidly, and required less assistance from the teacher. (SLD)
