{"pk":28224,"title":"MathByExample: Testing the Worked Example Principle in Elementary School Math","subtitle":null,"abstract":"An abundance of empirical evidence has amassed supporting the effectiveness of having students explain why correctproblem solutions are correct (Aleven & Koedinger, 2002; Hilbert, Renkl, Kessler, & Reiss, 2008) as well as why incor-rect problem solutions are incorrect (Durkin & Rittle-Johnson, 2012; Grosse & Renkl, 2006). However, despite strongtheoretical background for the approaches (e.g., Sweller, 1999; Siegler, 2002) and the growing amount of empirical ev-idence collected in real-world classrooms for students in middle school and above (e.g., Adams et al., 2014; Booth etal, 2015) it is yet unknown whether prompting self-explanation of correct and incorrect examples could be effectivelytranslated for elementary school mathematics classroom. In this project, we worked with elementary school teachers andmathematics coaches to construct developmentally appropriate worked-example assignments for 4th graders; the presentstudy tests the effectiveness of these collaboratively developed assignments for different topics in ethnically diverse 4thgrade classrooms.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Abstracts-Posters","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6f80n2zm","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Julie","middle_name":"","last_name":"Booth","name_suffix":"","institution":"Temple University","department":""},{"first_name":"Kelly","middle_name":"","last_name":"McGinn","name_suffix":"","institution":"Temple University","department":""},{"first_name":"Laura","middle_name":"K","last_name":"Young","name_suffix":"","institution":"Temple University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2018-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28224/galley/17883/download/"}]}
