Abstract

Research on the effectiveness of Productive Failure has demonstrated that prompting students to solve a problem before they get instruction about the canonical solution, aids their learning compared to getting instruction first, even if they generate incomplete or erroneous solutions. However, it is still unclear how failing to solve a problem prior to instruction prepares students for learning. In two studies, we used example-based conditions to investigate preparatory effects of problem-solving prior to instruction.
