Description

PBLCCS is a combined learning model the authors compiled from the steps of Problem-Based Learning and Cognitive Conflict Strategy, grounded in Piaget's constructivist ideas of assimilation and accommodation. It proceeds through "Orientation of the problem (conflict identification)", learning group organization, individual and in-group supervision, work development and presentation, and analysis and evaluation of problem solving. The article used it as the experimental treatment to develop critical thinking and curiosity in a Number Theory course.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Problems must carry a conceptual challenge (a cognitive conflict) that leads to disequilibrium among students
  • A lecturer facilitates while high achieving students help low achieving peers complete the assigned conflict

Constraints

Target Learners

  • undergraduate mathematics education students

Learning Goals

  • mathematical critical thinking
  • mathematical curiosity attitude
