Worked Examples Versus Non-Goal-Specific Problems: A Test of Schema Development in Geometry.
Lim, Eng Leong; Dixon, Robyn S.; Moore, Dennis W.
Educational Psychology: An International Journal of Experimental Educational Psychology, v16 n4 p421-31 Dec 1996
Compares a teaching program designed to enhance schema acquisition with one of worked examples, traditionally used to teach geometry. Shows that both groups of subjects had improvements in the number of problems solved, with those exposed to non-goal-specific procedures demonstrating greater rates of improvement and greater efficacy in problem-solving strategies.
