Cognitive psychology's learning theory focus on applying learning theory to practice in education. Gagne's cognitive learning theory presents the entire process of information processing and information extraction. Under information processing theory and problem-solving strategies of cognitive psychology's guidance, teachers should emphasize the researches of cognitive structure of students. Teachers...
We present a description and preliminary results of our use of Tablet PCs to strengthen problem-solving skills in an upper-level course. This design is a modification of well-established steps used to teach increased competency in problem-solving strategies in engineering courses. Novelly, however, these steps are facilitated by the use of Tablet PCs by the students, which allows the instructor to...
Online discussion forums could be used to extend classroom learning of mathematics. Two problem solving sessions were held using discussion forums of the Blackboard Learning System for a mathematics course, with the purpose of encouraging critical thinking. An adapted model to analyze critical thinking in the forum postings showed little progression in critical thinking from the first to the second...
We are developing model eliciting activities (MEAs) for use in undergraduate engineering education to enhance problem solving ability as well as to provide a means for assessment. The MEA construct, originally developed by math educators, involves a student team developing an analytical model to solve a real-world, open-ended engineering problem and providing formal documentation of the solution procedure...
