Analogical Reasoning in the Classroom: Insights from Cognitive Science. (2015, background): “There is some evidence that stating the analogical principle after students have made the comparison is more effective than stating the principle in advance (Alfieri et al., 2011; Schwartz & Bransford, 1998).”
Juxtapeer: Comparative Peer Review Yields Higher Quality Feedback and Promotes Deeper Reflection (2018, background): “Contrasting cases help develop nuanced understanding Across domains as diverse as algebra [39], design [12,49], and management [47], learners benefit from articulating the similarities and differences between examples [1].”
The power of internal feedback: exploiting natural comparison processes (2020, background): “While comparison researchers offer some suggestions about instructions, these are quite limited and only relate to analogical comparisons (e.g. Alfieri, Nokes-Malach, and Schunn 2013).”
