Problem Solving Process

"Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine the argumentation-based problem solving processes of 10th grade students in the context of quadratic equations. The study was carried out in a public high school in Istanbul. The study group consists of three male students selected by the method of “homogeneous sampling”. In the research, special case study, one of the qualitative research models, was used. The data in the application process were collected with two problem-solving activities related to quadratic equations. The students tried to solve the problems together by doing group work with one week interval for both problems. The problem solving processes of the students were recorded with the video recorder and the discussions between the students were analyzed according to Toulmin's argumentation model. According to the findings of the research, it was determined that the students used the argument (65), least rebuttal (3) and qualitative (3) components among the argumentation components. Students produced less arguments in the first problem solutions than the second problem. For this reason, differences were observed in students' ability to produce arguments according to the qualifications of the questions. In addition, after the argumentation study, the students stated that the problem solving process contributed in the context of understanding the problem for themselves, expressing their thoughts, persuading their opinions by defending their ideas, and communicating together and they want to be found again in similar working environments."

Selection Order

In manufacturing industries, various problems may occur during the production process. A problem is a complex status which involves relevant context in working environments. A problem-solving process is often initiated to create a solution for achieving the desired status; in this process, determining how to obtain a solution from the various candidate solutions is an important issue. In such uncertain working environments, context information provides rich clues for problem-solving decision making. Therefore, this work uses a selection approach for an optimized problem-solving process to assist workers in choosing a reasonable solution. A context-based utility model explores the problem context information to obtain the candidate solutions’ actual utility values; a multi-criteria decision analysis uses the actual utility values to determine the optimal selection order of candidate solutions. The selection order is presented to the worker as an adaptive knowledge recommendation. The worker chooses a reasonable problem-solving solution based on the selection order. This paper uses a high-tech company’s knowledge base log as the analysis data. The experimental results show that the chosen approach to an optimized problem-solving solution selection is effective. The contribution of this research is in demonstrating a method which is easy to implement in a problem-solving knowledge recommendation system for selecting a reasonable solution.

Bodily Movements

Embodied cognition theories suggest a link between bodily movements and cognitive functions. Given such a link, it is assumed that movement influences the two main stages of problem solving: creating a problem space and creating solutions. This study explores how specific the link between bodily movements and the problem-solving process is. Seventy-two participants were tested with variations of the two-string problem (Experiment 1) and the water-jar problem (Experiment 2), allowing for two possible solutions. In Experiment 1 participants were primed with arm-swing movements (swing group) and step movements on a chair (step group). In Experiment 2 participants sat in front of three jars with glass marbles and had to sort these marbles from the outer jars to the middle one (plus group) or vice versa (minus group). Results showed more swing-like solutions in the swing group and more step-like solutions in the step group, and more addition solutions in the plus group and more subtraction solutions in the minus group. This specificity of the connection between movement and problem-solving task will allow further experiments to investigate how bodily movements influence the stages of problem solving.

Dialog Processing

As spoken natural language dialog systems technology continues to make great strides, numerous issues regarding dialog processing still need to be resolved. This book presents an exciting new dialog processing architecture that allows for a number of behaviors required for effective human-machine interactions, including: problem-solving to help the user carry out a task, coherent subdialog movement during the problem-solving process, user model usage, expectation usage for contextual interpretation and error correction, and variable initiative behavior for interacting with users of differing expertise. The book also details how different dialog problems in processing can be handled simultaneously, and provides instructions and in-depth result from pertinent experiments. Researchers and professionals in natural language systems will find this important new book an invaluable addition to their libraries.

This article is an appeal to incorporate qualitative reasoning into quantitative topics and courses, especially those devoted to decision-making offered in colleges and universities. Students, many of whom join professional workforce, must become more systems thinkers and decision-makers than merely problem-solvers. This will entail discussion of systems thinking, not just reaching “the answer”. Managers will need to formally and forcefully discuss objectives and values at each stage of the problem-solving process – at the start, during the problem-solving stage, and at the interpretation of the results stage – in order to move from problem solving to decision-making. The authors suggest some methods for doing this, and provide examples of why doing so is so important for decision-makers in the modern world.

AbstractPrior knowledge, motivational factors, and metacognition have been long considered basic elements for successful problem-solving process. However, the interplay of these variables with context-based task characteristics has rarely been explored in research. The present study aimed at investigating how context-based task characteristics influence these three elements, and further expands to explore potential differentiated effects across physics’ topics. A multivariate analysis of covariance was conducted with 232 participants from high-track schools in Germany to investigate the effects of task characteristics and task topic with regard to their motivational and metacognitive variables. Overall results indicated that students’ situational interest and estimate of solution correctness decrease through time as a result from their interaction with the tasks characteristics. Furthermore, between-subject factor analyses revealed important differences across the task topics of mechanics and thermodynamics. Finally, the covariate of prior knowledge was positively significant across all analyses. The findings demonstrate the importance of appropriate design of context-based tasks to positively influence students’ motivation and metacognitive processing. Implications of the results, as well as further lines of research are discussed.
