摘要

Cover-copy-compare (CCC) is a simple, self-managed process that enables students to develop fluency in important facts and procedures through modelling, practice and corrective feedback. CCC has been studied at primary-school-level mathematics, but not with the complex, multi-step kinds of procedures used at secondary school (age 11 and above). This paper reports on a randomised controlled trial involving 224 students (ages 14–16) comparing a novel CCC app to a non-CCC app. Both apps used similar technological environments to teach students how to find the equation of a straight line given two points. We found that students using the CCC app improved their procedural fluency more than those completing standard exercises did. We conclude that CCC has the potential to be used in secondary education and offer suggestions for future research.
