Problem Solving Reflection

be a problem-solving mechanism that seeks to conclude on the expected outcomes. As such, critical thinking is tied around finding solutions to a problem. It is important to note that there is a bias towards the end result to determine whether critical thinking was employed. This makes sense because failing to find a solution to a problem cannot be classified as critical thinking. As Steven Johnson said in Where Good Ideas Come from, it is important to incorporate critical thinking in a problem-solving

As a lifelong learner, it is important to recognize one’s unique needs in order to continuously gain and create new knowledge. Self-directed learning (SDL) was found to be the basis for those who identify with being a lifelong learner (Dynan, Cate, & Rhee, 2008). Therefore, self-directed learners tend to be motivated by intrinsic incentives to successfully acquire new skills and qualities for personal and professional growth (Hiemstra, 1994; Patterson, Crooks, & Lunyl-Child, 2002). Self-directed

Problem solving in education is a transformative component in fostering creativity and learning. An educator is constantly seeking new ways to better enhance and to create meaningful learning experiences. In a world that is so driven by technology in the digital age, finding ways to creatively use Computational Thinking and Computer Science skills will create innovative thinkers among our students. Besides the foreseen challenges of the ever changing upgrades and application of new technologies;

Dewey defined reflection as active persistent and careful consideration of beliefs. He referred to reflection as thought from puzzlement felt in direct experiences which is an important aspect of learning from experience. Reflective thinking helps practitioners to act in intentional and deliberative ways rather than in a blind and impulsive manner. Reflective practices are usually a process of metacognition which works on ones existing knowledge and helps assist in problem solving. Therefore, how

process standards displayed were problem solving and communication. While other process standards can be seen, I feel these particular standards had the largest roles in this video. In most problem based learning lessons, both the problem solving and communication content standards will be used as the lessons are student centered to solve a given problem. Problem Solving can be seen throughout the entire lesson. Written in the NCTM process standard of problem solving is ‘formulate, grapple with, and

the feasibility of solution or correctness. This process is good and does not fail me; however, I always use it no matter if a problem is trivial or not. My consistent leaning on this process has a downside. It not only restricts me to a sequential form of thinking about solutions (possibly masking alternative approaches), but I often take much longer on physics problems than most. I am the type of student with good to high grades on homework assignments, but poor- passing, but poor performance on

1. Within Sports Coaching Literature, it has been established that reflection is a generic term for intellectual and effective activities, in which individuals examine their experiences, in order to develop new understanding and intrapersonal appreciation (Knowles, et al., 2006). Research in this field has advocated reflective practice as an approach to professional development which positively impacts coaching effectiveness (Cropley, et al., 2012). This reflective report shall discuss, analyse and

Problem-Solving Instruction Questionnaire BFP2 Task 1 Bridget Clark August 21, 2016 A Written Project Presented to the Faculty of the Teachers College of Western Governors University Introduction Within mathematics instruction, strategies for solving basic operations are strong and systemic. However, students in the intermediate grades struggle with finding and using reliable strategies for solving word problems. The complexity of language that’s used in a mathematical context makes
