Citations in the corpus
- Comparing Four Instructional Techniques for Promoting Robust Knowledge (2015, methodology): “A meta-analysis of instructional explanations used in worked examples showed that instructional explanations are minimally helpful and may not be more effective than self-explanation of worked examples (Wittwer and Renkl 2010).”
- Handbook of Research on Learning and Instruction (2011, background): “It was not until level 4, however, that learners could describe coherent sequences of actions, give reasons for those actions, and explain tactical options within condition-action (if-then) statements.”
- Cognitive Load Theory: Advances in Research on Worked Examples, Animations, and Cognitive Load Measurement (2010, background): “The question of how much instructional guidance or assistance should be provided is also addressed by Wittwer and Renkl (2010), though they focus on the amount of guidance provided within worked examples.”
- The impact of augmented reality on cognitive load and performance: A systematic review (2021, background): “For example, nov-ice learners learn better with the help of worked examples than with unguided inquiry while experts often do not need this help and can start directly with problem-solving tasks (Kalyuga, 2007; Wittwer & Renkl, 2010).”
- Inducing Self-Explanation: a Meta-Analysis (2018, unknown): “Wittwer and Renkl (2010) conducted a meta-analysis exploring the influence of instructional explanations on example-based learning.”
- Toward an Instructionally Oriented Theory of Example-Based Learning (2014, background): “Actually , a recent meta - analysis by Wittwer and Renkl ( 2010 ) showed that on average instructional explanations added to examples have positive effects .”
