This research examined the effect of applying two different explanatory procedures (self- explanation and instructional explanation) on topic knowledge acquisition performance, near transfer performance, and far transfer performance. A total of 76 students were randomly assigned into three groups and pre- and post tests were used to assess the learning outcomes. The analysis showed that the effect of self-explanation was more pronounced than instructional explanation especially in topic knowledge acquisition performance and near transfer performance. On the other hand, the positive effect of self-explanation was not noticeable in far transfer performance. |
