CH 13: “e-Learning to Build Problem-Solving Skills” Converting routine automatons to active thinkers
Problem-Solving Skills Are: • Cognitive Skills • Conceptual understanding • Metaskills • Strategic understanding • Motivation • Drive to persist and solve problem • An army bus holds 36 soldiers. If 1,128 soldiers are being bused to their training site, how many buses are needed? • 31 or 32?
Problem-Solving Principles: • Use of job contexts • Lack of transfer • Thinking processes vs. job knowledge • Tell or show-and-do vs. explicit training of invisible mental processes E.g. Alan Schoenfeld’s experiment: Novice Pattern Expert Pattern EXPLORE READPROBLEM READ PROBLEM EXPLORE ANALYZE PLAN & IMPLEMENT VERIFY
Problem-Solving Principles continued: • Learner awareness of problem-solving processes • Assignments to perform activities on worked examples of expert problem-solving • Assignments to write out problem-solving plans • Visualizations of learners’ problem-solving paths • Job-specific problem-solving processes
