Anchored Instruction: Why We Need It and How Technology Can Help
Abstract
Most educators agree that we must help students learn to think for themselves and to solve problems (e.g., Feuerstein, 1979; Linn, 1986; Mann, 1979; Segal, Chipman, & Glaser, 1985). This emphasis on thinking has prompted educators to focus their attention on processes involved in thinking rather than only on the contents of thought. Nevertheless, research demonstrates that knowledge of important content-knowledge of concepts, theories, and principles-empowers people to think effectively. Without appropriate knowledge, people's ability to think and solve problems is relatively weak (e.g., Bransford, Sherwood, Vye, & Rieser, 1986; Newell, 1980; Simon, 1980).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
