Capitalizing on cognitive load theory and learning by analogy, we propose two instructional methods to learn a complex linear equation (e.g. two-step equation) by building on prior knowledge of a simpler linear equation (e.g. one-step equation). We will examine the proposal theoretically in this paper. In line with the design principles of…

To foster the pursuit of a better understanding of how the shift of teaching paradigms from teacher-centred instruction to student-centred instruction might have effects on Chinese students' learning, this study investigated the associations between teaching paradigms (student-centred and teacher-centred) and students' academic motivation and…
