| مستخلص: |
A framework for research in problem solving is provided by categorizing and defining variables describing problem tasks. A model is presented in an article by Kulm for the classification of task variables into broad categories. The model attempts to draw realtionships between these categories of task variables and the stages of problem solving which they principally influence. Articles by Barnett, Webb, Goldin, and McClintock define and discuss each category of task variables, give examples, survey the existing research literature, and explore the theoretical implications of task variables within the category. The categories covered are syntax variables, content and context variables, structure and complexity variables, and heuristic processes. Experimental studies for which the description or control of task variables was a major theme are summarized in articles by Goldin and Caldwell, Waters, Days, Luger, Harik, and Branca et. al. These studies illustrate the various techniques described earlier, and provide evidence of their importance to research outcomes. In articles by Caldwell, Luger, and Schoenfeld, teaching applications are described, with examples of unit plans based on the systematic manipulation of task variables for instructional purposes. The book concludes with reaction papers by Jerman and by Kilpatrick, noted researchers in mathematics education. (MP) |
