What experts have said about Worked Examples
1 statement · 1 positive
Worked examples with fading scaffolds teach faster than unsupported problem solving.
“The better way to learn, the faster way to learn, is to give them a worked example where you show them, and then you progressively remove the parts of the example where they're having to progressively go up, and then by the end they can solve the problem with no scaffolding.”
