Schemas in Problem Solving

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores a new theory of schema development and its ability to serve as a unified basis for understanding learning, instruction and assessment. The theory's prescriptions for teaching are direct, and its application to assessment suggests new directions for tests. Marshall illustrates the main features of her theory with experimental evidence from students who are learning to recognize and solve arithmetic story problems.
