Abstract

Recent studies have shown that worked-out examples are considered as an alternative approach for students who don’t have prior knowledge of a task or initial acquisition in domains like mathematics. Worked-out examples involve the presentation of a problem and its solution. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the relative effects of four different types of worked-out examples (worked-out examples, worked-out examples with self-explanation prompts, fading worked-out examples without self-explanation prompts and fading worked-out examples with self-explanation prompts) on novice students’ math performance on fraction problems. The study group consisted of 67 students that were selected among 215 sixth grade students from a public school. According to the results of this study, the use of self-explanation prompts in combination with backward fading worked-out examples fosters learning in both transfer and follow-up studies. Backward fading worked-out examples using self-explanation prompts can be easily implemented and is compatible with ordinary framework conditions in schools with very simple means such as worksheets or homework.

Özet

Son yıllarda yapılan araştırmalar çözümlü örneklerin herhangi bir konuda veya matematik gibi alanlarda ön bilgileri yeterli olmayan öğrenciler için alternatif bir yaklaşım olduğunu göstermektedir. Çözümlüörnekler soruyu ve çözümünü içerir. Bu araştırmanın amacı dört farklıçözümlü örnek türünün (çözümlü örnekler, açıklayıcı ipuculu çözümlüörnekler, silikleştirilerek basamaklandırılmış çözümlü örnekler ve silikleştirilerek basamaklandırılmış ve açıklayıcı ipuculu çözümlü örnekler) başarısı düşük olan öğrencilerin kesir problemleri performansına etkisini incelemektir. Çalışma grubu bir devlet okulunda okuyan215 altıncı sınıf öğrencisi arasından seçilmiş 67 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Bu araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre silikleştirilerek basamaklandırılmış ve açıklayıcı ipuculu çözümlü örneklerin hem transfer hem deizleme testinde diğer çözümlü örnek türlerine göre başarıyı daha fazlageliştirdiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Silikleştirilerek basamaklandırılmışve açıklayıcı ipuculu çözümlü örnekler sıradan okul ortamlarındaödevler veya sınıf çalışmaları yoluyla kolaylıkla uygulanabilir.
