About this title

Synopsis

The research on Demonstration: Who benefits from demonstration in learning between children and adults The book examines how watching a demonstration of problem solving affects the learning ability of children and adults.

It presents measures such as action speed, number of errors, and guidance time, to understand what really changes as a result of Demonstration.

The research shows that demonstration is generally more beneficial for children, as it helps them save time, attempts, and errors when proposing solutions. Conversely, when measuring the ability to detect slips and give advice, adults actually benefit more from the demonstration. The findings suggest that the effect depends on the evaluation parameter and the type of task.

• Differences between groups of children and adults in the effect of Demonstration on speed, errors, and total time to solution
• The demonstration contributes more to savings in time and actual events for children
• Adults see an advantage in understanding errors and time after errors
• Drawing conclusions about the boundaries of the effect and the possibility of transferring to different situations

Who is it suitable for? This is a book suitable for readers seeking a practical understanding of how to lead collaborative learning across different generations, especially when it comes to problem solving and self-regulation.
