Learning Geometry Problem Solving by Studying Worked Examples

Abstract: I would like to acknowledge everyone who contributed to the completion of this thesis. My supervisor, Professor John Sweller for his immeasurable support, inspiration, and continued encouragement; my gratitude for him is beyond words. My coadvisor Professor Slava Kalyuga for his valuable insight and guidance. John and Slava were very cooperative and responded promptly to emails and queries. I am grateful for their patience and persistence especially during the writing of this thesis. My mum, her soul did not l… Show more

“…This study is a case study in which a worked example problem was developed to teach students the Principle of Work and Energy, one of the most important concepts in engineering dynamics. A significant amount of research has illustrated the effectiveness of using worked examples to help students learn a variety of subject matters (Atkinson, Derry, Renkl, & Wortham, 2000;Bokosmaty, Sweller, & Kalyuga, 2015). The worked example problem developed from this study is described in the following paragraphs.…”

“…(Flores et al, 2012, Bokosmaty et al, 2015. It is especially important to develop learning environments that assess levels of learner' prior knowledge and accordingly alter instructional support levels (Bokosmaty et al, 2015) and that differentiated geometry teaching affects the spatial ability level of students (Kok & Davasligil, 2014). By building these "problem-solving competencies, students will strengthen their conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, strategic competence, productive disposition, and adaptive reasoning abilities" (Abdullah et al, 2014:166).…”

“…Research findings that are in accordance with findings of other research, show better adjustment of teaching students by differentiation which gains better results with students of lower knowledge level and have a smaller influence on students with higher level of knowledge.
