What are some different examples you can think of that helps illustrate the concept you are teaching?
What key similarities and differences should be highlighted among these different examples to clarify the new concept?
Can the product encourage learners to actively engage in making comparisons, rather than passively observing them?
Principle Definition
Use multiple examples to explain a new concept, and highlight similarities and differences between them. Learners develop a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of concepts when presented with similar and contrasting examples.
Limitations
People comparing their performance in two attempts doesn’t necessarily count as an application of this principle, because it is not helping learners understand a new concept from external materials.
