Abstracts
In this article, I have defined problems and articulated variations in the
nature of problems and problem representations. I have also briefly described
individual differences that affect the nature of problem-solving activities.
Finally, I have described a typology (and to a lesser degree, a taxonomy) of
problems, including logical problems, algorithmic problems, story problems,
rule-using problems, decision making, troubleshooting, diagnosis-solution
problems, strategic performance, case analysis problems, design problems,
dilemmas, and metaproblems.Problem solving is generally regarded as the most important cognitive
activity in everyday and professional contexts. Most people are required and
rewarded for solving problems. However, learning to solve problems is too
seldom required in formal educational settings, in part, because our
understanding of its processes is limited. Instructional-design research and
theory has devoted too little attention to the study of problem-solving processes
or methods and models for supporting problem-solving learning. In this article, I
describe differences among problems in terms of their structuredness,
complexity, and domain specificity (abstractness). Then, I briefly describe a
variety of individual differences (factors internal to the problem solver) that
affect problem solving. Finally, I articulate a typology of problems, each type of
which engages different cognitive, affective, and conative processes and
therefore necessitates different instructional support. The purpose of this paper is
to propose a meta-theory of problem solving in order to initiate dialogue and
research rather than offering a definitive answer regarding its processes.

Leider ist die ursprünglich im Biblionetz erfasste URL eines Volltextes seit mehr als sechs Monaten nicht mehr gültig (Fehlermeldung 404) und wurde deshalb gelöscht. Es ist mir nicht bekannt, ob das Dokument unter einer anderen Adresse noch frei auf dem Internet verfügbar ist.This paper represents an effort to introduce issues and concerns related to problem solving to the instructional design community. I do not presume that the community is ignorant of problem solving or its literature, only that too little effort has been expended by the field in articulating design models for problem solving. There are many reasons for that state of affairs. The curse of any introductory paper is the lack of depth in the treatment of these issues. To explicate each of the issues raised in this paper would require a book (which is forthcoming), which makes it unpublishable in a journal. My
purpose here is to introduce these issues in order to stimulate discussion, research, and development of problem-solving instruction that will help us to articulate better design models.
