Identifying problems and learning objectivesconsider students prior knowledge-solving problem and learning problemsolving skills Accessing Materialsstudents must have materials to solve the problem Forming Groups-groups should be mixed with respect to ability, gender, and ethnicity- teacher monitors to make sure all members are participating
Identify the problem-attract students by presenting a challenge and make sure the goal is clear; give students lots of experience with problem solving Represent the Problem-activate students backgrounds knowledge-encourage students to draw or sketch what is known and unknown Implement Strategy-provide scaffolding if necessary to guide students through process Evaluate Results- teachers ask students to judge the validity of their solutions; might involve series of teacher questions that require students to think about their answers.
Alternate Assessmentsdirectly measure students performance through real life tasks ex; interview Performance Assessmentassess students work while engaging in realistic problem-solving situations; based on present criteria. Systematic Observationspecify criteria for the processes they are assessing and take notes based on criteria-rubrics, checklists, rating scales-provide informative feedback
Increases students intrinsic motivated by effecting their curiosity, challenge, authentic tasks, involvement, and autonomy. Also teaches students selfregulation.
In this model, teachers want students to learn to systematically investigate a problem, learn to take control of their learning progress, and acquire a deep understanding of a specific topic.
