14. Worked Example Principle (Promote Self-Explanations)

What Worked Example Principle (Promote Self-Explanations) Is

According to Clark and Mayer (2011), not only do the the examples need to demonstrate their understanding through worked examples but also should also include techniques that promote deeper processing. The addition of self-explanation or collaborative questions reinforce the learning process. (Clark & Mayer, 2011, p.231-232)

How the Example Shows (or Doesn't) Worked Example Principle (Promote Self-Explanations)

Students using Khan academy while learning math is an excellent example. Not only does the video show how teachers can assist students with step-by-step examples, but also there are reviews with practice questions that provide immediate feedback on whether or not the answers were correct.
