Analogy Choices Unlock Transformative Insights Across Mathematics and Society
The article explores how choosing the right factors of analogy can affect how well we understand and apply analogies. By focusing on the source, outcome, and knowledge unit of analogies, researchers found that selecting these factors carefully can determine the success and meaning of the analogy. In particular, using mathematics knowledge as a source of analogy was highlighted as crucial. The study emphasizes that the choices made in these three factors play a significant role in the effectiveness of analogies.
