Description

The article states that the experimental teaching approach "was, as a matter of fact, a combination of the expository strategy and problem -solving approach", because facts, rules, and action sequences such as terms, formulas and procedures had to be explained through exposition before the heuristics could be used. This lesson-level pattern pairs direct explanation of foundational content with student problem-solving practice built on heuristic steps.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Foundational facts, rules, formulas and procedures must be explained expositionally before heuristic problem-solving work begins

Constraints

  • The article reports this combination as what was actually implemented, not as a separately tested condition

Target Learners

  • secondary school mathematics students

Learning Goals

  • mathematics achievement
  • problem-solving skill
