摘要

Comparisons are commonplace in children’s learning and in K-12 education, but teachers are given limited guidance in how best to support students’ comparisons to lead to the strong learning outcomes. Structure mapping theory offers a well-articulated, evidence-based account of how people carry out comparisons and learn from them. The present article reviews this evidence and highlights ways best practices identified in the structure mapping literature can be used to improve student learning in the K-12 classroom.
