    "abstract": "Examples play a critical role in guiding the \nacquisition of cognitive skills. W e have argued that \nstudents need to apply the knowledge gathered from \nstudying examples to solve analogous problems for \nthat knowledge to be effective. There is a tradeoff \nbetween the active nature of constructing solutions \nand the facilitating effect of guiding problem solving \nwith a worked example. The present study examined \nthe impact of self-explanations on the effectiveness \nof examples in guiding later problem solving. W e \nfound that within a learning environment which \nprovided direct support for the self-explanation of \nworked examples, such study could be as effective as \ndirect problem solving practice.",
