Problem-solving with computers

The study of problem-solving processes-specifically of how children acquire and apply strategies to solve problems- has a long conceptual and empirical background. The knowledge acquisition phase still intrigues, how a pupil acquires knowledge of the problem-solving environment, especially in the new context of instructional videos designed and used to enact/assist learning. With this work, we aim to understand better, how pupils learn problem solving with the help of contemporary technologies, namely instructional videos. The different methods of analysis applied in this study will generate paths of problem-solving learning with instructional videos and will test if these paths are new.
