Adaptive teacher support fosters effective learning in one-to-one teaching sessions, which are a common way of learning complex visual tasks in the health sciences. Adaptive support is tailored to student needs, and this is difficult in complex visual tasks as visual problem-solving processes are covert …

Eye movement modeling examples are instructional videos in which a model (this can be an expert, a teacher, or a peer student) demonstrates and usually (though not necessarily) verbally explains how to perform a task. In contrast to regular video examples, however, students do not only see the model’s …

Novieten leren nieuwe probleem-oplostaken op een effectieve manier door het bestuderen van voorbeelden, zoals stap-voor-stap uitgeschreven oplossingsprocedures of een docent die (op video) voordoet en uitlegt hoe je een probleem oplost. Steeds vaker worden (video)voorbeelden en oefenproblemen ingezet …

Presenting novices with examples and problems is an effective and efficient way to acquire new problem-solving skills. Nowadays, examples and problems are increasingly presented in computer-based learning environments, in which learners often have to self-regulate their learning (i.e., choose what type …

This study investigated whether unsuccessful transfer of critical thinking (CT) would be due to recognition, recall, or application problems (cf. three-step model of transfer). In two experiments (laboratory: N = 196; classroom: N = 104), students received a CT-skills pretest (including learning, near …

There is a need for effective methods to teach critical thinking. Many studies on other skills have demonstrated beneficial effects of practice that repeatedly induces retrieval processes (repeated retrieval practice). The present experiment investigated whether repeated retrieval practice is effective …

There is a need for effective methods to teach critical thinking (CT). One instructional method that seems promising is comparing correct and erroneous worked examples (i.e., contrasting examples). The aim of the present study, therefore, was to investigate the effect of contrasting examples on learning …

Nowadays, students often practice problem-solving skills in online learning environments with the help of examples and problems. This requires them to self-regulate their learning. It is questionable how novices self-regulate their learning from examples and problems and whether they need support. The …

Studenten onderwijzen in kritisch denken wordt nationaal en internationaal gezien als een van de centrale doelen van het hoger onderwijs. Docenten spelen een cruciale rol in het realiseren van dit doel. Desondanks is er weinig bekend over hoe zij hierin ondersteund kunnen worden. Het hoofddoel van het …

Problem-solving tasks form the backbone of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) curricula. Yet, how to improve self-monitoring and self-regulation when learning to solve problems has received relatively little attention in the self-regulated learning literature (as compared with, …
