Incorrect Worked Examples Mode

[amarax]

Background: an Incorrect Worked Examples mode would be:

• Well aligned with RightOn's goal to foster a positive classroom culture of error (one where mistakes are seen as learning opportunities and specific methods are provided to do so)
• More novel and leading-edge from a learning engineering / education research perspective vs. Correct Worked Examples
• An opportunity to achieve potentially greater proficiency gains compared to Correct Worked Examples

Building upon emerging research into Incorrect Worked Examples, 2023 grant proposals, and how R&D related to Incorrect Worked Examples is considered leading-edge (vs. that for Correct Worked Examples): to determine if and how an Incorrect Worked Examples mode might be implemented within the RightOn platform, our plan is to first create a quick prototype of one type of Incorrect Worked Examples: "Find/Explain Incorrect Step". [This is distinguished from another type of Incorrect Worked Example: "Comparing Correct vs Incorrect Worked Examples" (an example of which is "Charting the Error", implemented in New York's Uncommon Schools network).]

For examples of the above and further details, see the following screens in Figma, which depict 5 different types of Worked Examples: 3 types of Correct Worked Examples and the 2 types of Incorrect Worked Examples mentioned above.

We've decided that the Wrong Answer Explanation Prototype will be integrated into this feature
