报告人: Dr Ouhao Chen (Loughborough University, UK)

报告人简介：Dr Chen currently is a Lecturer with the Department of Mathematics Education, Loughborough University (UK). He holds a PhD in Educational Psychology from University of New South Wales (Australia), and a Master in Curriculum and Instruction from Capital Normal University (China). Dr Chen is interested in Cognitive Load Theory and its applications to mathematics education. Before working in Loughborough, Dr Chen was a post-doctoral researcher of Southern Cross University (Australia) and a Lecturer and Research Scientist of Nanyang Technological University (Singapore).Dr Chen’s research has been funded by multiple British funders, such as the Leverhulme Trust, the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). Dr Chen is the board member of the British Society for Research into Learning Mathematics (BSRLM) and the Director of Mathematics Learning Support Centre (MLSC) of Loughborough University.

摘要：The worked example effect has been well documented within the framework of Cognitive Load Theory (CLT), which suggests that teaching with examples would be superior to engaging in unguided problem solving, particularly for novices, as using worked examples would reduce their cognitive load, compared to solving problems, thus facilitating knowledge retention. This study, using multiple-step mathematics problems, reports an experiment investigating the micro level of worked example effect on learning solution steps, from the perspective of cognitive load and challenge (as a relevant affective, motivational factor), with testing the worked example effect with a transfer test at the macro level. The results favored worked examples on both the retention and transfer tests after learning and showed that using worked examples would reduce cognitive load and impose less challenge on each step during learning.
