Problem Solving
Problem solving software is related with the cognitive learning theory as students are clearly taught specific cognitive strategies. Problem solving is much more difficult type of learning than that of drill and practice exercises as computer presents complex problems which requires students higher level of thinking skills(reasoning and pattern recognition).
Followings are the some of the requirement that teacher have to follow while using this software:
- · Teacher should provide students goals and a work schedule (allow students sufficient time to explore and interact with the software.)
- · Teacher first demonstrates the planning steps to solve problems and then ask students to provide other possible methods to solve the same problems after using this software.
- · Teachers might let students use the problem solving software in pairs or in small groups, then ask each group to share the strategies they have used.
- · Teachers should stress thinking processes, not merely guessing to get correct answers.
- · Teachers may need to plan transfer activities or use paper and pencil tests.
Multimedia encyclopedias and electronic book
Multimedia encyclopedia software are the software that helps the students to access any desired information by searching its vast contents and even download relevant data for their compositions and presentations, as it store full text, still images, animation, audio and video. Electronic book also be used as a tutor to learn reading, spelling and word skills.
Followings are the some of the requirement that teacher have to follow while using this software:
- · Teachers might demonstrate the variety of ways to search information.
- · Teachers can use the software for the whole classroom presentation to increase effectiveness of their lessons or class discussions.
- · Teachers should provide very clear questions that the students can answer with the software.
- · Teachers can design worksheets for students to complete when students are assigned to view the electronic information in software by groups or individually.
- · Teachers can assign topics for groups of students to do research by searching information stored in the software.
- · Teachers might want to conduct a follow up presentation for students sharing their findings or conclusions drawn from the information.

DeletePhuntsho, it is relevant and up to the level of the students. I think it will be more effective if you add some example of problem solving so that it gives clear outline of the lesson on how you can integrate in the class.

ReplyDeleteProblem Solving, It is is kind of software which help students to learn/solve a complicated problems.
Multimedia(full text, images, animation, audio and videos) is a software in which we can store vast information and even search information for learning.
Electronic books information for reading, but is supplemented with (Sound, spoken voice, picture and animation). Electronic books is used as a tutor to learn.
And i think it would have been batter if you have defined Those strategies separately and with more detail and even try to write in your own words.Over all perfect work..enjoy...
