Document Summary
Buying new shoes to match new dress. Everyone in the world will not live in poverty by 2020. Completing a portrait of an individual (e. g. archibald prize) Schunk, 2000: found that there were well structured and ill (poorly) structured problem solutions, schema (scheme) = a construct or a procedure. E. g. procrastinashion (you know it is incorrectly spelt) A procedure for: solving a maze, algebra problem etc. Argument for both sides (kail & hall, 1999) To solve maths problems; need basic operations (e. g. plus + minus as well as reading skills) Mod 1: theories of development: the use of a general problem solving procedure and, a high degree of metacognitive monitoring, many models but most can be summaries into a 5 stage sequence (bransford & stein, 1993):- Need to recognise what is irrelevant and distinguish what is useful. Can be highly structured us an algorithm rule that works.
