Teaching Problem Solving: An ATI Study of the Effects of Teaching Algorithmic and Heuristic Solution Methods.

Peer reviewed

De Leeuw, Leendert – Instructional Science, 1983

Characterizes typical training programs on "learning to think," outlines past research, and lists criteria for an aptitude-treatment interaction (ATI) study of the relationship between tasks, training methods, and student attributes. Details are given of two computerized experiments examining the different effects of algorithmic and…
