Web-based instruction: teaching students to utilize problem solving strategies

摘要

In the last couple of years on-line courses have burgeoned on the world wide web. However, despite technological advances, there are a dearth of programs which aid students in developing problem solving skills. Currently, there are only five programs on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exam that are available on the world wide web. All of five are based on a question, answer and evaluation format. The purpose of this M.Ed project is to develop a program that teaches students to utilize their cognitive and high order learning skills by providing multifaceted exercises that work on developing these strategies.
