Although findings from cognitive science have suggested learning benefits of confronting errors (Metcalfe, 2017), they are not often capitalized on in many mathematics classrooms (Tulis, 2013). The current study assessed the effects of examples focused on either common mathematical misconceptions and errors or correct concepts and procedures on…

Loehr, Abbey; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany; Durkin, Kelley; Star, Jon R. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
Mathematics textbooks sometimes present worked examples as being generated by particular fictitious students (i.e., "person-presentation"). However, there are indicators that person-presentation of worked examples may harm generalization of the presented strategies to new problems. In the context of comparing and discussing worked…
