What works with worked examples: Extending self-explanation and analogical comparison to synthesis problems

The ability to solve physics problems that require multiple concepts from across the physics curriculum—“synthesis” problems—is often a goal of physics instruction. Three experiments were designed to evaluate the effectiveness of two instructional methods employing worked examples on student perform...
