To draw or not to draw? Examining the necessity of problem diagrams using massive open online course experiments

Previous research on problem diagrams suggested that including a supportive diagram, one that does not provide necessary problem solving information, may bring little, or even negative, benefit to students’ problem solving success. We tested the usefulness of problem diagrams on 12 different physics...
