Killingsworth, Stephen S.; Clark, Douglas B.; Adams, Deanne M. – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2015
Previous research has demonstrated the efficacy of two explanation-based approaches for increasing learning in educational games. The first involves asking students to explain their answers (self-explanation) and the second involves providing correct explanations (explanatory feedback). This study (1) compared self-explanation and explanatory…
