Abstract:
Background
In exploratory learning, students first explore a new topic with an activity and then receive instruction. This inversion of the traditional tell-then-practice order typically benefits conceptual knowledge and transfer, but not always.

Aims
The current work examines the impact of including contrasting cases in an exploration activity, which can enhance student perception of novel problem features.
