What are best practices in learning methods? That
question has been and is still today still a much
discussed topic. Some say learning by doing, some
say read and memorize and some are not sure and
try to think in new methods. One of these methods
is a theory called the Example Choice theory.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the
effects of the Examples Choice theory in learning
with the use of animations. By setting up an
experiment we might be able to determine if the
theory can enforce and improve learning outcomes.
In the first part of the paper we will go through
today's school and look at how students perform on
test and look at different learning theories. The
cognitive science also a part of this study even
if it's not the focus in this paper it is
important to understand learning.
To find out if there was any hold in the theory we
made an experiment. Our subjects in the experiment
were 50 people in age-group 24-28 years. The
subjects were randomly selected to go through a
learning program with pre and post-tests to
measure the outcome. The results in this study
provide some support for the Example Choice theory
but also raise some questions that need to be put
under the loupe before making any final
conclusions about the theory.
