Brief statement of principle

Asking student to invent solutions to carefully designed challenges prior to receiving instruction can promote learning from subsequent instruction.

Description of principle

Operational definition

Students should attempt to rank alternatives in an invention task by comparing sets of contrasting cases, before receiving direct instruction and practice.

Examples

The following example is a preparation for future learning about variance

Experimental support

Laboratory experiment support

In vivo experiment support

Schwartz & Martin 2004 found that IPL activities help students learn from subsequent instruction.

Theoretical rationale

(These entries should link to one or more learning processes.)

Conditions of application

Several conditions are being investigated in the current IPL study

Caveats, limitations, open issues, or dissenting views

Several researchers object any form of discovery activity, and argue that direct instruction is always the superior alternative (Kirschner, P.A., Sweller, J., & Clark, J.E., 2004)

Variations (descendants)

Generalizations (ascendants)
