Abstract

Problem solving is generally regarded as the most important cognitive activity in everyday and professional contexts. Most people are required to and rewarded for solving problems. However, learning to solve problems is too seldom required in formal educational settings, partly because our understanding of its precesses is limited. An important function of designing for problem solving is deciding how to represent the problems to novice learners. Problems that are represented to learners in formal learning situations (e.g., schools, universities, and training centers(?)) are usually simulations of everyday and professional problems, and thus instructional designers should decide which problem components to include and how to represent them to the learners. In this aspect, e-Learning will providea good environment to solve various problems. What are good problems in an e-Learning environment? Problems that are represented to learners in the e-Learning environment should cover educational goals, characteristics of problems, individual differences, good traits of e-Learning and learning products.
