Sequencing Examples and Nonexamples to Facilitate Concept Attainment.
Petty, Osmond S.; Jansson, Lars C.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v18 n2 p112-25 Mar 1987
The effects of two instructional strategies for sequencing examples and nonexamples of the concept "parallelogram" were compared for sixth graders. A rational sequence was favored over a random sequence at the formal level of concept attainment; no interaction effect was found between the strategy and students' mathematical ability. (MNS)
