Abstract: In this paper we report one of a number of experiments with highschool students on learning from examples and learning by workingthrough problems. The test results and protocols indicate that as longas the examples are appropriate and the problems are well arranged,most of the students master the knowledge quite well within a shorttime by working through some examples and problems. The students notonly learned how to solve problems, but also could induce problem solvingstrategies, the symbolic production rules, with which they direct furtherproblem solving. Thus speeding up the problem solving procedure. We also discussed the process of learning from examples andlearning by working through problems.
