Bodily Movements

Embodied cognition theories suggest a link between bodily movements and cognitive functions. Given such a link, it is assumed that movement influences the two main stages of problem solving: creating a problem space and creating solutions. This study explores how specific the link between bodily movements and the problem-solving process is. Seventy-two participants were tested with variations of the two-string problem (Experiment 1) and the water-jar problem (Experiment 2), allowing for two possible solutions. In Experiment 1 participants were primed with arm-swing movements (swing group) and step movements on a chair (step group). In Experiment 2 participants sat in front of three jars with glass marbles and had to sort these marbles from the outer jars to the middle one (plus group) or vice versa (minus group). Results showed more swing-like solutions in the swing group and more step-like solutions in the step group, and more addition solutions in the plus group and more subtraction solutions in the minus group. This specificity of the connection between movement and problem-solving task will allow further experiments to investigate how bodily movements influence the stages of problem solving.

Dialog Processing

As spoken natural language dialog systems technology continues to make great strides, numerous issues regarding dialog processing still need to be resolved. This book presents an exciting new dialog processing architecture that allows for a number of behaviors required for effective human-machine interactions, including: problem-solving to help the user carry out a task, coherent subdialog movement during the problem-solving process, user model usage, expectation usage for contextual interpretation and error correction, and variable initiative behavior for interacting with users of differing expertise. The book also details how different dialog problems in processing can be handled simultaneously, and provides instructions and in-depth result from pertinent experiments. Researchers and professionals in natural language systems will find this important new book an invaluable addition to their libraries.

This article is an appeal to incorporate qualitative reasoning into quantitative topics and courses, especially those devoted to decision-making offered in colleges and universities. Students, many of whom join professional workforce, must become more systems thinkers and decision-makers than merely problem-solvers. This will entail discussion of systems thinking, not just reaching “the answer”. Managers will need to formally and forcefully discuss objectives and values at each stage of the problem-solving process – at the start, during the problem-solving stage, and at the interpretation of the results stage – in order to move from problem solving to decision-making. The authors suggest some methods for doing this, and provide examples of why doing so is so important for decision-makers in the modern world.

AbstractPrior knowledge, motivational factors, and metacognition have been long considered basic elements for successful problem-solving process. However, the interplay of these variables with context-based task characteristics has rarely been explored in research. The present study aimed at investigating how context-based task characteristics influence these three elements, and further expands to explore potential differentiated effects across physics’ topics. A multivariate analysis of covariance was conducted with 232 participants from high-track schools in Germany to investigate the effects of task characteristics and task topic with regard to their motivational and metacognitive variables. Overall results indicated that students’ situational interest and estimate of solution correctness decrease through time as a result from their interaction with the tasks characteristics. Furthermore, between-subject factor analyses revealed important differences across the task topics of mechanics and thermodynamics. Finally, the covariate of prior knowledge was positively significant across all analyses. The findings demonstrate the importance of appropriate design of context-based tasks to positively influence students’ motivation and metacognitive processing. Implications of the results, as well as further lines of research are discussed.

Problem Solving Process

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan keupayaan menyelesaikan masalah matematik bukan rutin di kalangan pelajar tingkatan dua di beberapa buah sekolah sekitar daerah Johor Bahru. Ia difokuskan kepada keupayaan pelajar dalam proses menyelesaikan masalah yang merangkumi: proses memahami masalah, merancang strategi penyelesaian, melaksanakan strategi dan akhir sekali menyemak serta menilai jawapan. Kajian ini merupakan kajian tinjauan. Persampelan adalah secara persampelan kelompok. Sampel kajian adalah terdiri daripada 70 orang pelajar tingkatan dua. Tiga alat kajian digunakan, iaitu ujian penyelesaian masalah matematik bukan rutin, soal selidik berkaitan sikap terhadap penyelesaian masalah dan temu bual berstruktur. Tiga kategori yang dinilai dalam inventori sikap adalah kesanggupan dalam aktiviti menyelesaikan masalah, ketabahan ketika menyelesaikan masalah dan keyakinan diri dalam menyelesaikan masalah. Dapatan menunjukkan bahawa pelajar tingkatan dua mempunyai kemahiran memahami masalah pada tahap tinggi tetapi mempunyai kemahiran merancang strategi dan menulis jawapan pada tahap yang sangat lemah. Manakala bagi kemahiran melaksana strategi, pelajar tingkatan dua ini berada pada tahap yang sederhana dalam menyelesaikan masalah matematik bukan rutin. Dari segi sikap terhadap penyelesaian masalah, pelajar tingkatan dua mempunyai tahap sikap yang tinggi dalam kesanggupan dan ketabahan tetapi mempunyai tahap sikap yang sederhana dalam keyakinan. Temu bual pula mendapati terdapat perbezaan pandangan dan pola penyelesaian antara pelajar yang mendapat skor terendah dan pelajar yang mendapat skor tertinggi ketika menjawab soalan matematik bukan rutin. Kata kunci: Masalah matematik bukan rutin; proses menyelesaikan masalah; kesanggupan; ketabahan; keyakinan diri This study was designed to identify student’s ability in solving non–routine mathematical problem among form two students from schools in the district of Johor Bahru. Its focus is on student’s ability on problem solving process that is: to understand the problem, to plan the problem solving strategies, to carry out the strategies, and lastly to review the answers as well as the overall solution. This study was a form of survey with a cluster sampling. A total of 70 form two students were chosen as research sample. Three instruments were used: non–routine problem solving test, a questionnaires about problem solving attitudes and a structured interview. Three categories on attitudes inventory evaluated were willingness, perseverance and self–confidence on problem solving activity. The findings of the study showed that form two students were skilled in the understanding of the problem but have low skills in planning problem solving strategies and in reviewing the answers. These students have moderate skills to carry out the strategies in solving non-routine mathematical problem. Results of attitude on problem solving showed that form two students have high scores for attitudes on willingness and perseverance but average scores for attitude on confidence. The interview also showed student opinion varied and there is a marked difference in patterns of solving problems across students with lowest scores and highest scores. Key words: Non–routine mathematical problem; problem solving process; willingness; perseverance; self–confidence
