The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of analyzing contrasting video cases on pre-service teachers' conceptual understanding of educational psychology concepts and subsequent transfer of that understanding in a new context. Analyzing contrasting cases increases the ability of students to discern and differentiate specific features related to certain psychological concepts (Schwartz and Bransford (1998). This well-differentiated knowledge prepares students to learn from a lecture or a book chapter. Gentner, Loewnstein, & Thompson (2003) demonstrated how comparing similar examples can facilitate understanding of underlying structures and subsequent transfer to novel problems. However, previous research demonstrating the benefits of contrasting cases and multiple examples have been limited to paper stimuli. We extend this work to video, which is more complex than typical stimuli used in these studies. |
