Heuristic trees as an instrument to support autonomous problem solving
There is a broad consensus on the importance of problem solving both as a learning goal and as a teaching method. Problem solving is an essential academic skill. However, implementing problem solving into a course is challenging, since it seems to require careful and intensive guiding of individual students. We report on a design study of a new interactive digital instrument, named heuristic tree, that provides support to students while problem solving, and at the same time stimulates the cognitive process of compression (see edspace.nl/pyth/ ).
My name is Pim Bruin and I'm a Psychology teacher at Utrecht university. I have a passion for education and Psychology and since 1,5 years I'm working on a research project about the Teacher Evaluation Questionnaire which is used to provide teachers with extensive feedback on how students perceive their functioning.
