A Dosage $\times$ Precision Framework for Instructional Effectiveness: Propositions, Boundary Conditions, and an Illustrative Case from Solid-State Physics

arXiv:2609.28516v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose that instructional effectiveness may depend on an interaction between two design dimensions: dosage---the total duration of student-centered active learning allocated to a topic---and precision---the degree to which an intervention targets a specific, documented cognitive bottleneck with a mechanism-matched representational tool. This paper formalizes the framework, anchors it in cognitive load theory, derives its falsifiable...
