Chang, Tzyh-Lee; Hsin, Huai-Tzu – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2021
Background: Being able to think independently is a must for students to construct new knowledge in their minds. Self-explaining is a constructive learning strategy that encourages students to think for themselves and to make inferences that go beyond the given information. The Self-explain--Discuss--Re-explain (SDR) strategy adapted from…
