Keys of Problem Solving - Research
- It is essential that teachers have an understanding of the cognitive and metacognitive processes and strategies that facilitate problem solving, and the instructional principles that foster learning (Montague, 2003).
- As students become more effective problem solvers, they also become more efficient and take less time solving ordinary problems (Montague, Warger, & Morgan, 2000).
- Metacognitive strategies improve student learning (Kroesbergen & Van Luit, 2003).
- Findings suggest that students with learning disabilities may be at a serious disadvantage compared to better problem solvers because they seem to lack important problem-solving strategies for effective and efficient mathematical problem solving (Montague, & Applegate, 2000).
- Programs or Practices that meet the Level 1 Criteria for Best Practices
