> I would have preferred citing actual research, not an appeal to historical methods. Given that some of the conclusions that word for word copy may be less efficient than summarized copy. I can at least provide some links. [1] is my own research on giving students optional typing practice in a CS2 course. [2] is Mickie Chi's overview of the ICAP framework which categorizes learning activities based on their level of engagement (Interactive, Constructive, Active, Passive). Chi's work notes that higher modes of engagement provide more learning gains, or I > C > A > P. Copying would be considered an Active exercise and theoretically would not give as much learning gains as a Self-Explanation exercise ("summarized copy", Constructive). However, much of the research into self-explanation shows that lower-performing students do not provide good summarizations/self-explanations. Thus, in my [1] work, I make the argument that for these students, completing a lower ICAP mode (typing practice) is a better use of their time. While it does not provide as much learning gain as a Constructive activity, it can still give students some gains that could potentially elevate them to a mental model that can successfully complete Self-Explanations.

In your research area, is there a significant textbook or summary paper you would recommend that summarises current findings well?
What would you recommend to a complete amateur orienting themselves?
