The Influence On Transfer Effects In Force Analysis Study Caused By The Similarity And Its Level Of The Combination Of Correct-incorrect Worked Example

During the researches on the learning transfer effect of correct-incorrect worked example combination in the past, the number and the presentation of the correct-incorrect worked example were involved. But only how the similarity of worked examples influencing the learning effect of combination was involved in researches of correct worked example combination.It was similarity between worked example and the new problem influence understanding and using the knowledge.At present, there are not research literature about the similarity and its level of correct-incorrect worked example combination affecting the effect of learning transfer. When we contrasted the correct and incorrect force analysis, we thought that the similarity and its level of correct-incorrect worked example combination will affect the effect of learning transfer. Therefore we proposed two hypotheses. The first one was the similarity of the correct and incorrect worked examples about force analysis would influence the effect of learning transfer. If this hypothesis was true, then, we proposed the second hypothesis; the level of the similarity would also influence the effect of learning transfer.To verify those above hypotheses, we used the correct-incorrect worked examples about force analysis from high school physics as study materials, and selected students in grade three in junior middle school as participants. We designed two experiments. Experiment1verified the learning transfer effect of correct-incorrect worked example combination with similarity and dissimilarity in force analysis. Experiment2we observed the learning transfer effect of correct-incorrect worked example combination with high similarity, and low similarity in force analysis.The results show that:the learning transfer effected of the combination of correct-incorrect worked example with similarity were significantly better than the learning transfer effect of the combination of correct-incorrect worked example with dissimilarity. The learning transfer effect of the combination of correct-incorrect worked example with high similarity was significantly better than that with low similarity.
