Results from three experiments showed that iSTART primarily benefits bridging inferences when self explaining. …

Η εκπαίδευση αναφέρεται στην ανάπτυξη των γνώσεων, πιστεύω, συμπεριφορών, στάσεων ενός ατόμου ως αποτέλεσμα της διαδικασίας μάθησης. Η εκπαίδευση ομότιμων εφαρμόζεται ευρέως σε προγράμματα πρόληψης για τον ιό του HIV/AIDS αλλά και σε προγράμματα σεξουαλικής αναπαραγωγικής …
