Description
Most would agree that the acquisition of problem-solving
ability is a primary goal of education. The emergence of the
new information technologiesin the last ten years has
raised high expectations with respect to the possibilities
of the computer as an instructional tool for enhancing
students' problem-solving skills.
This volume is the first to assemble, review, and discuss
the theoretical, methodological, and developmental knowledge
relating to this topical issue in a multidisciplinary
confrontation of highly recommended experts in cognitive
science, computer science, educational technology, and
instructional psychology.
Contributors describe the most recent results and the most
advanced methodological approaches relating to the
application of the computer for encouraging knowledge
construction, stimulating higher-order thinking and problem
solving, and creating powerfullearning environments for
pursuing those objectives. The computer applications relate
to a variety of content domains and age levels.
