Vignettes have long been used as a tool to model, teach, and research behavior and understanding. They also have been used to stimulate discussion and problem solving in learning situations. The paper summarizes an analysis of the effects of vignette instruction on vignette quiz performance in three sections of a blended graduate educational psychology course. Study results suggest that vignette instruction provides efficient near-transfer opportunities and richer scaffolding experiences on student mastery of subject matter.
