In collaboration with graduate student Melanie Prieto, Dr. Hausman and Melanie will explore how to improve worked examples as a tool for learning mathematics. Often seen on websites such as Chegg, Slader, etc., worked examples have been regarded as beneficial for student learning. However, this lab’s research has routinely shown that worked examples decrease the accuracy of students’ metacognition–i.e., they are unaware of their level of understanding. This is such an exciting project and we can’t wait to see what comes of it! Find more information about the Hellman Fellowship here. Congratulations!!
