Generalizations from the Research
1. Cues, questions, and advance organizers should focus on what is important as opposed to what is unusual.
2. “Higher level” questions and advance organizers produce deeper learning than “lower level.”
3. Advance organizers are most useful with information that is not well organized.
4. Different types of advance organizers produce different results.
5. “Waiting” briefly before accepting responses from students has the effect of increasing the depth of students’ answers.
