Abstract：

The copies model of recursion was implemented in two versions of computer-based instruc-tion (dynamic vs. static) in this study. For the immediate effects, dynamic copies model was more effective than static copies model in teaching recursion. High prior knowledge students performed better than low prior knowledge students no matter they were instructed with the dynamic or stat-ic copies model. For the delayed effects, ATI was found. High prior knowledge students benefited from the static copies model instruction more than from the dynamic copies model. In contrast, low prior knowledge students benefited from the dynamic copies model more than from the static copies model.
