Influence of Knowledge Context on the Learning of Intellectual Skills.

Beeson, Geoffrey W.

American Educational Research Journal, v18 n3 p363-79 Fall 1981

Grade 10 students were taught a hierarchy of intellectual skills in three different contexts: skills taught in isolation; additional verbal instructions provided; and skills taught in relation to a relevant anchoring idea. Results showed that use of the anchoring idea context enhances meaningful learning of complex skills. (Author/GK)
