The Impact

Teaching problem solving is one of the most important topics of physics education while students have big troubles with physics problem solving. The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of extended problem-solving strategy instruction on the development of pre-service science teacher’s problem-solving, critical thinking, metacognitive awareness, and logical reasoning skills. Extended Problem-Solving Strategy has been developed for university physics courses by researcher. This strategy has importantance in terms of covering many previous strategies in physics education literature and including many new steps. The model of the research consisted of an experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups. Pre-services randomly assigned to the experimental (N=30) and control groups (N=30). The results of the research indicate that the post scores of the experimental group students significantly higher than control group students after the implementations in terms of metacognitive awareness, critical thinking, problem solving and logical thinking skills.This research revealed the positive effects of the “Extended Problem-Solving Strategy” implementation in the physics course at the university level on the skills which are listed among the 21st Century skills and each of these skills affects the other skills positively

The Impact

In recent years, retailers have placed greater emphasis on developing long-term relationships to obtain sustainable benefits on issues such as product quality, price, and markdown allowances. The author examines the impact of situational factors such as the time orientation of a relationship and the importance of the issues to be resolved on the use of various negotiation strategies (problem solving, compromise, and aggressive) in channel relationships. He also investigates the impact of different strategies on channel member outcomes and satisfaction. The data used to test the model were obtained in a mail survey of 124 retail buyers in six regional department store chains. The study results indicate that when retailers are long-term oriented, problem-solving and passive aggressive strategies are used for resolving conflicts on major issues. The use of problem-solving strategy to resolve major conflicts resulted in higher outcomes and greater satisfaction than either compromise or aggressive strategies. The findings also provide insights on the use of various negotiation strategies by retailers to resolve conflicts on important and relatively unimportant issues.

Solving Strategy

Quasi-experimental design was adopted in this study. Pretest-posttest, non- equivalent control group was used. Six intact classes, three of which were randomly assigned to experimental and the other three to control groups are used for the study. Sample of the study consisted of 284 SSII students from Enugu Education Zone. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. Bearing Achievement Test (BAT) was used for data collection. BAT was constructed by the researcher and validated by three research experts. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while the hypotheses were tested at .05 level of significance using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Experimental groups were taught using Polya‟s Problem Solving Strategy (PPSS) while control groups were taught the same topic using expository method. Major findings of the study revealed that students taught bearing with PPSS achieved higher than those taught with expository method. There was no significant difference between the mean achievement scores of male and female students in the study. It was recommended that Mathematics teachers should adopt PPSS for teaching Bearing and distances in senior secondary schools.

Structured Questionnaire

Increasing evidence suggests that imitative behavior may have a role in suicide. The social transmission of this problem-solving strategy might be explained by the influence of modeling. The authors investigated suicide attempters, psychiatric patients without suicidal history as well as control groups of normal persons without a psychiatric or suicidal history matched for sociodemographic variables in Germany and Hungary. Using a structured questionnaire the occurrence of real and fictive suicidal models was investigated. Statistical analyses were performed to compare the frequency of suicidal models, the characteristics of the suicidal act, and the role of imitation of the different groups in each country. The differences between the German and Hungarian groups were explained according to different cultural factors and different learning histories.

Metacognitive awareness of reading strategies can be defined as the knowledge or awareness about strategies to process reading materials, the ability to monitor comprehension, and the ability to employ strategies in understanding text. Previous studies show inconsistent results regarding the role of gender in the metacognitive awareness of reading. The current study aims to evaluate gender differences in the students’ knowlegde of metacognitive strategies in reading. This study involves 137 students (59 boys and 78 girls) from grade 4 to 6. The current study uses Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory (MARSI) that consists of 3 subscales: global strategy, problem solving, and support strategy. Results show that female students outperform male students in their metacognitive awareness, both in general scale and in each type of strategy. In addition, the most used strategy is the problem solving strategy, while the least used is the support strategy. This finding suggests that teachers need to consider the gender difference in determining the effective methods of delivering materials in classrooms. Keywords: metacognitive awareness, reading, gender differencesAbstrak: Kesadaran metakognitif dalam membaca dapat didefinisikan sebagai pengetahuan akan strategi untuk memproses bacaan, kemampuan untuk memonitor pemahaman, dan kemampuan untuk mengatur strategi yang dibutuhkan untuk memahami bacaan. Hingga saat ini masih terdapat hasil yang tidak konsisten mengenai peran gender dalam kesadaran metakognitif siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah lebih dalam mengenai bagaimana perbedaan siswa laki-laki dan perempuan pada kesadaran metakogntifnya dalam membaca, khususnya pada bacaan akademik. Penelitian melibatkan 137 siswa (59 laki-laki dan 78 perempuan) kelas 4 – 6 Sekolah Dasar (SD) dengan menggunakan alat ukur Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory (MARSI) yang terdiri atas 3 dimensi: strategi global, penyelesaian masalah, dan strategi pendukung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa siswa perempuan lebih sering menggunakan strategi metakognitif dibandingkan siswa laki-laki, baik secara keseluruhan maupun pada masing-masing jenis strategi. Selanjutnya, jenis strategi yang paling banyak dipakai adalah strategi penyelesaian masalah, sedangkan strategi yang paling jarang dipakai adalah strategi pendukung bacaan. Hasil penelitian ini berimplikasi pada kebutuhan guru untuk memperhatikan perbedaan gender siswa ketika menentukan metode penyampaian tugas atau materi belajar agar pembelajaran berlangsung efektif.

The purpose of this study was inquiring The Impact of the Problem Solving Strategy on Acquiring Technology Concepts in the Computer Science of Ninth Grade Students in Jordan. To achieve goals of this study, a test has been developed to observe the Technology Concepts. The researcher adopted a quasi-experimental approach in which the experimental group consisting of (30) students was taught in accordance with Problem Solving Strategy. At the same time, the controlled group consisting of (30 students) was taught in the traditional way. The tests and the motive measuring was applied prior and post- teaching on both groups. The Analysis of Covariance results (ANCOVA) indicated a significant difference at (α≤0.05) between the two groups, which is attributed to the Problem Solving Strategy, in developing the Acquiring Concepts in Computer Science, of Computer Science Education Course for the experimental group. The results also indicated variation in the performance of (the experimental group) students in the posttest of the Problem Solving Strategy (in developing the Technology Concepts. The study recommended introducing the Problem Solving Strategy in the teaching of Computer Science Education Course, and conducting other similar studies in different educational stages.
