....may distract the learner s attention away from the target learning material [Zeitoun, 84] It may also add an unnecessary load to learning the material. In summary, analogies should be used cautiously. A base concept can be used to explain correctly, but eventually, every analogy breaks down [Glynn, 91] and at this point miscomprehension and misdirection can begin. Weller, 70] agrees with this, saying that, used with proper precautions, an analogy may be an excellent time saving device, but improperly used, it may serve to obstruct the learning process. The previous section has looked at the ....

....people use to perform a task has the capability to make these processes objects of reflection. Allowing students to examine, query and manipulate the dialogue history is expected to aid them in drawing analogies and forming appropriate abstractions that have been shown to be effective in learning [8]. In our system, we provide the student with two sources of information: 1) comments and explanations about the student s current problem solving step, and (2) a visual representation of the dialogue history and a set of tools for accessing it. The interaction window on the screen is divided into ....
