Design of a model-based expert-supported learning environment for problem solving expertise development
Conference Themes: Linking Knowing and Doing - Bridging the Gap between Theory and PracticeTeaching ill-structured problem solving skills is a critical and challenge task in medical education. While problem-base learning (PBL) is widely adopted in medical schools to enable students' learning with complex problems under minimal guidance, there are concerns about its effects on development of systemic knowledge structure and efficient reasoning process. To meet the challenge, a technology-enhanced learning environment is proposed in this study to improve students' expertise in complex problem solving by scaffolding their reasoning and knowledge construction processes with support of expert knowledge and model-based cognitive tools.published_or_final_versio
