ToSCA is an optional and intensive technical product innovation workshop that aims to include education for innovation of constructive solutions in the grade architecture programme, by applying a didactic structure based on problem solving skills, combined with cooperative learning structures and involving an industry of the sector every edition a client. The workshop has been held annually at the Vallès School of Architecture, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, since 2007 and the results of each edition can be found at: http://www.etsav.upc.edu/assignatures/tosca. After eleven editions of ToSCA_ETSAV and one edition in TUM Munich, with a very good outcomes and by the invitation of the School of Architecture of the Francisco de Paula Santander University in Cúcuta, Colombia, we assumed, between both institutions, the challenge of internationalizing the ToSCA experience, to carry out within the Deepening Course "the ceramics in the architectural project", a first educational workshop for the innovation of technical product, suggesting the adaptability of the ToSCA methodology, in a different socio-cultural environment.

This study was conducted to determine whether or not the jigsaw approach as a cooperative learning strategy can significantly improve the problem solving skills in physics of the First Year Pharmacy students of the University of the Immaculate Conception for School Year 2011-2012. The researchers used the quasi-experimental design and purposively chose one class with forty students to compose the experimental group and another class of the same size to form the control group. The students from the experimental group were supervised through the jigsaw approach for three weeks as they studied Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion. The test scores from the 50-multiple choice-item Physics Questionnaire (α = 0.90) were the data used in the study. Frequency count, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test were the statistical tools employed in the analyses of the data. Findings of the study revealed that the problem solving skills in physics of the Pharmacy students were significantly improved by the jigsaw approach. The researchers also employed a focus group discussion for the triangulation of the method which validated that students who were subjected to jigsaw approach became more proficient, responsible, facilitative, and approachable as learners. The students felt that they needed to study not only for themselves but also for their group mates.

In this study we examined the relationship between stress and social problem-solving skills in student teachers. Results did not show any significant increase in social problem skills at the end of student teaching in 117 primary education student teachers at Laval University in Quebec City. Similarly, stress did not significantly increase. Our results suggest that the more student teachers increase their social problem-solving skills over the course of their student-teaching experience, the less their stress increases. The training of certain social problem-solving skills (problem orientation, generation of alternative solutions, cognition and emotion strategies) could be a promising method for reducing student teachers’ stress. The more we teach student teachers to manage their emotional stress and relax after school or work (relaxation potential), the more they will succeed in reducing their anxiety and overcoming depression.

This study investigates the effect of the use of teachers’ Lecture models combined with cooperative learning methods to improve students’ problem-solving skills in physics compare with the control group who were not exposed to the lecture model combined with cooperative learning methods from effect size value. The research method was a quasi-experimental research. The sample consisted of 33 students of 10th grade in middle schools (senior high school), SMAN 1 Sungai Penuh, Jambi Province where they ware learn at work and energy concept. Students' achievements, as well as their problem-solving skills of work and energy concept were assessed by pretest-posttest with an essay test. The results showed that the experimental group’s learning process has a high effect size value to problem-solving skills more than control group learning process. That shows the lecture model combined with cooperative learning method more effective than lecture model.

Physics was perceived as a difficult subject with in dire need for cooperative learning and problem-solving skills rubric modified from Jennifer Docktor, namely, useful description, physics approach, the specific application of physics, mathematical procedures, and logical progression. This study aimed to determine and describe the effectiveness of jigsaw technique in physics learning and problem-solving skills which employed pretest-posttest and quasi-experimental research design with a 95% confidence level. There were two groups included in the study as control and the experimental group which received jigsaw technique and traditional teaching respectively as treatment. Independent samples t-test results showed the use of jigsaw technique as cooperative learning has a statistical difference on the post-test and post-rubric scores against the control group with the large effect size in which the students showed a proficient performance in learning physics and problem-solving skills with the common use of useful description and physics approach. There is no significant difference on the pre-test and pre-rubric scores between the control and experimental group with the p-value of 0.772 and 0.019. Moreover, this study revealed that the experimental group struggled with mathematical procedures and logical progression posting low percentage gain. Overall this study concludes that students’ exposure to jigsaw technique improved physics learning.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui peningkatan kemampuan pemecahan masalah siswa yang memperoleh  pembelajaran kooperatif tipe STAD lebih tinggi daripada kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika siswa yang memperoleh pembelajaran secara langsung. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimen semu (quasi experiment). Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa MTs Negeri di kabupaten Labuhanbatu yang berakreditasi A dan B. Sampel penelitian ini adalah MTs Negeri 1 Labuhanbatu dan MTs Negeri 2 berjumlah117 siswa. Validitas instrument angket dilakukan dengan analisis butir menggunakan rumus korelasi Product Moment dan uji reliabilitas menggunakan rumus Alpha Cronbach. Teknik analisis data menggunakan uji normalitas dengan uji Chi Kuadrat dan untuk menghitung peningkatan kemampuan pemecahan masalah  matematika setelah pembelajaran dengan pembelajaran kooperatif tipe STAD dan pembelajaran langsung, maka digunakan uji gain ternormalisasi (g). Siswa yang mendapat model pembelajaran kooperatif tipe STAD memperoleh rata-rata peningkatan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis sebesar 0,63 dan siswa yang mendapat model pembelajaran langsung dengan rata-rata peningkatan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis sebesar 0,36. Berdasarkan hasil analisis data penelitian diperoleh hasil bahwa ada peningkatan kemampuan pemecahan masalah siswa yang mengikuti pembelajaran koopertiftipe STAD lebih tinggi dari pada siswa yang mengikuti pembelajaran langsung.This study aims to determine the increase in the problem-solving ability of students who get cooperative learning type STAD is higher than the mathematical problem solving abilities of students who receive direct learning.This research is a quasi experiment research.
