Subclaims¶

q1 i? The authors claim advanced learners may significantly benefit from environments giving students freedom in selecting and structuring learning tasks or the level of generality considered, fostering metacognitive and self-regulation skills. → Slava Kalyuga 2010

q1 · i? · theoretical · r3

Theoretical argument by the authors, not a tested result in this paper. They caution that learner-controlled instruction "may not be suitable during the early stages of learning complex skills" because low-expertise students might not use control appropriately.

"we claim that advanced learners may significantly benefit from learning environments that provide more freedom for students in selecting and structuring their learning tasks or, in the present case, the level of generality that is considered"
