Technology Assisted Problem Solving Packages: A New Approach to Learning, Visualizing, and Problem Solving in Engineering
Abstract
This is especially true in the domain of engineering where such technology needs much attention. Technology assisted problem solving (TAPS) packages are specialized computer programs developed to work as stand-alone (PC Based) or with Web servers that can supplement student learning; for revision, laboratory experiments, and self-study. In this book the term TAPS is used to represent interactive multimedia CAL in which the student is engaged with a computer tutor in the problem-solving task of the subject matter. TAPS packages offer similar pedagogic values as an experienced human tutor, with the added advantage of guiding students to solve engineering problems on a more flexible mode i.e. a student has the freedom of working on the problem at his/her own pace, repeat all or certain steps, spend more time at each or particular step until they are able to understand, and solve the problem. The objec-tive of these TAPS packages is to improve student’s understanding of the selected engineering problems by guiding and presenting the problem solving steps accordingly. The ultimate goal is to instill a sense of independent learning, encouraging critical thinking, and to promote deep learning. When tutoring a student on solving an engineering problem, a human tutor is expected to gauge the student’s background knowledge, deliver relevant course material at the correct level of detail, and clarify student’s misunderstandings. TAPS packages include the use of the computer to provide most aspects of instruction, which a classroom instructor could provide such as tutorials, questioning, feedback, contingent on answers, analysis and testing. The TAPS packages developed for this project has been customized to anticipate student needs, and have various interactive features built in to allow delivery control, navigation, and feedback More specifically, the packages are designed to assist the student in learning, visualizing, and problem solving in a step-by-step approach.
