1 Inducing germane load while reducing extraneous load by incrementally fading-in a worked example. Florian Schmidt-Weigand & Martin Hänze University of Kassel

2 Preview 3 Studies comparing conventional worked examples (WE) with an incremental presentation procedure Incrementally fading-in prompts and solution steps of worked examples is beneficial for learning (success, cognitive load)... but does not lead to more invested effort (germane load). Cooperation does not induce germane load (Study 2) Fading-in alone does not necessarily lead to germane learning activities (Study 3) Learners (15 year old scholars) can distinguish between invested effort and perceived load but not between extraneous and intrinsic load. Slide 2/40

3 Will the rope resiste or break?

4 Will the rope resist or break? The father of Melina and Sascha has built a ropeway in the garden. He used a rope with a resilience of 2000 N. Melina claims that this is enough for the rope to carry her brother, Sascha, who weighs 80 kg. Is she right or wrong? Explain.

5 Will the rope resist or break? The father of Melina and Sascha has built a ropeway in the garden. He used a rope with a resilience of 2000 N. Melina claims that this is enough for the rope to carry her brother, Sascha, who weighs 80 kg. Is she right or wrong? Explain.

6 Worked examples Worked examples are common in student textbooks. (e.g. Zhu & Simon, 1987) reduce task difficulty, i.e. intrinsic cognitive load. (e.g. Sweller & Cooper, 1985; Paas, 1992) but... do not foster learning activities, i.e. germane cognitive load. (e.g. Renkl, 2002) may be less motivating than solving the problem by oneself. (e.g. Deci & Ryan, 2000) Slide 6/40

7 Will the rope resist or break? The father of Melina and Sascha has built a ropeway in the garden. He used a rope with a resilience of 2000 N. Melina claims that this is enough for the rope to carry her brother, Sascha, who weighs 80 kg. Is she right or wrong? Explain.

8 Prompt 1 Explain to each other the task in your own words. Clarify how you understood the task and discuss what is still vague to you.

9 Feedback For example: We have to find out if the ropeway will We have to find out if the ropeway will resist Sascha s weight.

10 Prompt 3 Remember: Forces always have a direction and a magnitude. Draw these forces into your sketch of the picture.

11 Feedback Forces act in both directions along the rope of the ropeway. Furthermore, gravity, which is a force, too, acts downwards.

12 Study 01 Do incremental worked examples foster learning more than conventional worked examples?

13 Design and hypotheses N = 60 middle-school students (9 th grade; years, 39 female, 51 male) Physics problem ( Is the 5 Eurocent coin made of pure cupper? ) Cooperative problem solving in pairs Experimental conditions Incremental worked example (prompts & feedback) (n = 30) Conventional worked example (n = 30) Hypotheses: Incremental compared to conventional WE lead to a higher learning success, less (overall) cognitive load, but more invested effort (germane load).

22 Study 1: Summary and further questions Incremental WE foster learning effectively, reduce cognitive load, do not induce a higher effort (according to self-estimates) Further research questions: What is the functional part of the instructional setting? Cooperation (Study 2) Fading-in vs. prompts p (Study 3) Does cooperation induce germane load? Is the induction of germane load by prompts effective or even helpful? Slide 22/40

23 Study 02 Does cooperation induce germane load?

Fac ctor 2: Coop peration Single learners Learning pairs Factor 1: Instructional support Incremental Conventional WE WE n = 34 n = 36 n = 36 n = 36 Two-factorial design Conventional vs. incremental WE Single learners vs. learning pairs Hypotheses Incremental WE > Conventional WE Learning pairs > Single learners Incremental WE + learning pairs > all others Slide 24/40

29 Study 03 Is the induction of germane load by prompts effective or even necessary?

30 Will the rope resist or break? The father of Melina and Sascha has built a ropeway in the garden. He used a rope with a resilience of 2000 N. Melina claims that this is enough for the rope to carry her brother, Sascha, who weighs 80 kg. Is she right or wrong? Explain.

31 Step 1 We have to find out if the ropeway will resist Sascha s weight.

32 Step 3 Forces act in both directions along the rope of the ropeway. Furthermore, gravity, which is a force, too, acts downwards.

33 Are metacognitive prompts necessary for incremental worked examples? One-factorial design (N = 92; 8 th grade; years, 46 female, 46 male): U N I K A S S E L EG 1: Conventional WE (cf. study 01 & 02, n = 28) EG 2: Incremental WE prompts p (new, n = 32) EG 3: Incremental WE + prompts (cf. study 01 & 02, n = 32) Problem solving task: Ropeway Hypotheses: EG 3 > EG 1 (Replication of studies 01 & 02) EG 2 >/= EG 1 (Fading-in is sufficient/or not) EG 3 >/= EG 2 (Additive) effect of prompts? p Slide 33/40

38 Study 3: Summary Confirms results of Studies 1 & 2 in terms of Learning success (retention) Perceived difficulties Invested effort Prompts do not increase perceived difficulties or invested effort Fading-in alone is not sufficient to evoke the effects Slide 38/40

39 Conclusions Incrementally fading-in prompts and solution steps of worked examples is beneficial for learning (success, cognitive load)... but does not lead to more invested effort (germane load). Cooperation does not induce germane load (Study 2) Fading-in alone does not necessarily lead to germane learning activities (Study 3) Learners (15 year old scholars) can distinguish i between invested effort and perceived load but not between extraneous and intrinsic load. Slide 39/40

40 Discussion and outlook How to induce germane load in WE? Prompts without fading-in? How to measure germane load? learning success vs. effort ratings vs. process observation vs.??? How do aspects of cognitive load relate to... motivational aspects (e.g. basic needs)? attributions of learning success? Slide 40/40
