The Effects of Signaling and Elaboration on Achievement in Developmental Math

• In Event: RTD - Big Data Analytics and the Effects of Signaling and Elaboration on Achievement

Short Description

In an experimental research study with college students, benefits were shown for using signaling and elaboration strategies together in developmental mathematics. Recent research on memory organization suggests the potential for improving mathematics instruction by emphasizing signals and elaborations in learning procedures. This paper examines the effect of signaling and elaboration on the ability of novice learners of mathematical procedures to store and retrieve accurate cognitive constructs.
