Graduates are expected to be skilled across disciplines and provide holistic solutions. Hence, scaffolding is crucial as transfer of learning does not occur naturally and teaching-learning strategies found to be effective for experts may not be adopted similarly for novice learners. We hypothesize that if we can help students to model in relation to the ecosystem, they should be able to identify or...

Furthermore, opportunities are often “found” or “made.” The quality of solutions, however, is mediated by different conceptualizations of contexts. Thus, we aim to investigate how students would conceptualize, make sense, desire to know, find solutions and subsequently progress to...
A major hope of education is that students will be able to transfer what they have learnt to other similar situations and their everyday lives. However, transfer is not a given. Often, it does not happen. This case study refers to findings from Engle's (2006) study on the role of framing in explaining why and how transfer occurs to investigate whether framing can serve as a mechanism for scaffolding...
