| Learning to Solve Problems with Technology A Constructivist Perspective By David H. Jonassen and Jane Howland |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Chapter 2: Problem Solving is Meaningful Learning | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This chapter starts describing 11 kinds of problem solving, describing their complexity and structures. However, the best problems come from outside of the curriculum, like in the school, community, that's the real world, more meaningful for the students. But, teachers are afraid of going outside of the classroom because is a less controllable environment. Technology will help teachers in bringing real world into the classroom. Some questions were introduced for the readers to start paying attention on and analyzing the information that is found in the Internet, for a later model development for the students. The book mentions that technologies will be discussed further on next chapters what will help students to design problem solving; through the creation of web pages or multimedia programs; as ownership is the key to constructivism. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
