Problem-Solving01:29

Problem-Solving

130
Effective problem-solving consists of two steps: 1. identifying the problem and 2. selecting the appropriate problem-solving strategy (i.e., a plan of action used to find a solution). Humans use four problem-solving strategies:

Cognitive Learning

219
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

This study validates Sokoban, a game-based assessment for complex problem solving (CPS) skills. Results show Sokoban effectively measures the planning-execution stage of CPS in students.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Cognitive Science
  • Assessment Design

Background:

  • Complex problem solving (CPS) involves higher-order cognitive capacities for dynamic environments.
  • The PISA 2012 framework identifies planning-execution as a key stage in CPS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate Sokoban, a novel game-based assessment.
  • To evaluate Sokoban's psychometric properties for measuring the planning-execution stage of CPS.

Main Methods:

  • A large-scale study involving 1145 Chinese students from elementary to tertiary education.
  • Psychometric analysis of the Sokoban instrument.

Main Results:

  • Sokoban demonstrated a two-faceted structure, aligning with CPS theory.
Keywords:

  • Preliminary evidence supported Sokoban's criterion-related and predictive validity for the planning-execution stages of CPS.

    • Conclusions:

    • The game-based Sokoban assessment is a valid instrument for evaluating CPS.
    • Sokoban has practical implications for educational settings and student assessment.
