| Summary: | Problem solving is a basic skill needed by today's
learners. Guided by recent research III
mathematical problem solving, the changing
professional standards, new workplace demands,
technological changes and recent changes in
learning theories, educators are to include
integrated learning environments which encourage
learners to use this higher order thinking skills,
specifically problem solving skills. Teaching
mathematical problem solving should take an
approach of teaching in context where students are
learning mathematics while solving realistic
problems. Both holistic and componential
opportunity modelings are approaches that have
been emphasized in higher learning. |
