| + | An example of application of structural learning on learning how to subtract:((Suggested by Scandura in [[http://books.google.hr/books?id=qlF9AAAAMAAJ&q=Problem+Solving:+A+Structural/Process+Approach+with+Instructional+Applications&dq=Problem+Solving:+A+Structural/Process+Approach+with+Instructional+Applications&hl=hr&ei=GpuATeSrMs7esgbhvfT4Bg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CCwQ6AEwAQ|Scandura, J.M.

| + | - Select a representative sample of subtraction problems such as 9-5, 248-13, or 801-302. | ||
| + | - Identify the minimal capabilities of the learners: be able to recognize the digits 0-9, minus sign, column and rows. Then identify rules for solving each of the subtraction problems. For example, one of the rules can be that if the last digit of the minuend is smaller than a corresponding digit of the subtrahend, the next left digit in minuend is decremented by one. | ||
| + | - Identify higher-order rules and eliminate other rules they subsume. For subtraction this means the rule mentioned under (2) should be generalized for any digit of the minuend and corresponding digit of the subtrahend, not just the last one. | ||
| + | - Reconsider the resulting rules from (3) and generalize them to account for all problems within the domain. In the case of subtraction we could generalize the problem to subtraction of numbers in different bases. | ||
