Primes¶

- Klahr and Nigam (2004) showed experimentally that on early-elementary science tasks, well-structured direct instruction matches or exceeds discovery learning when transfer is assessed carefully
This sourceControlled experiment showing well-structured direct instruction matches or exceeds discovery learning on transfer in early-elementary science (supports D48-057).
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The study's own abstract reports that third- and fourth-graders taught experimental design by direct instruction performed as well as the few who discovered it unaided, supporting the 'matches' half of the claim.
“the many children who learned about experimental design from direct instruction performed as well as those few children who discovered the method on their own”
- Klahr and Nigam (2004) showed experimentally that on early-elementary science tasks, well-structured direct instruction matches or exceeds discovery learning when transfer is assessed carefully
Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
