Study Notes
Problem-Solving Instruction
- Aim of load-reducing methods: to reduce cognitive load on learners, allowing them to focus on higher-order thinking tasks
Teaching Thinking Skills
- Differs from other approaches by focusing on developing learners' thinking abilities rather than just imparting knowledge
Load-Reducing Methods
- Examples: worked examples, partially completed solutions, or summaries that reduce the amount of information learners need to process
Modelling Methods
- Provide learners with step-by-step examples or demonstrations of problem-solving processes
Questioning Methods
- Purpose: to encourage learners to reflect on their thinking and problem-solving processes
Problem-Solving Model
- Primary objective of Step 6: to reflect on the outcome of the solution and evaluate its effectiveness
- Step 3: focus on identifying and clarifying the problem
Guided Discovery Methods
- Differ from direct instruction by involving learners in the discovery process, encouraging active learning and exploration
Schema-Based Methods
- Assist learners in problem-solving by providing them with organized frameworks or structures to guide their thinking
Problem-Solving Process
- First step in a challenging situation: define the problem and clarify the goals
