- K. Koedinger, T. Mitamura, Ruth Wylie. 2011. Examining the Generality of Self-Explanation. Abstract: Prompting students to self-explain during problem solving has proven to be an effective instructional strategy across many domains. However, despite being called "domain general", very little work has been done in areas outside of math and science. In this dissertation, I investigate whether the self-explanation effect holds when applied in an inherently different type of domain, second language grammar learning.
