q2 · i? · causal · r?

Approach map analysis of independently solved problems compared derivation of expert-identified subgoals across the three groups of the 168 completers; the stated finding is higher subgoaling efficiency for the BWE+BPS group. The detailed RQ3 analysis text was not fully available, so this rests on the article's summary statement.

"Additionally, students trained with both BWE and BPS derived subgoals during proof construction with significantly higher efficiency than the other two groups."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Backward worked examples alone did not change student behavior or performance: the BWE-only group behaved like the control group — related
• The BWE+BPS group constructed significantly shorter solutions than the other groups in only two posttest problems — related
• Students trained with both backward worked examples and backward problem solving significantly outperformed control and BWE-only students on posttest problem scores — related
• Training-level test problem scores were only marginally associated with training treatment (p=0.0563), with the BWE+BPS group scoring lower early in training — related
