Simon Gray, Caroline St. Clair, Richard H. James, Jerry V. Mead · 2007
The fading worked example has emerged from cognitive load theory as an effective strategy for lowering cognitive load in the novice phase of skill acquisition and has been shown to be effective in mathematics, engineering and psychology. This theoretical paper proposes the application of the fading worked example strategy to programming education.
