Zhang, Yin; Chu, Samuel K. W. – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2016
In recent years, a number of models concerning problem solving systems have been put forward. However, many of them stress on technology and neglect the research of problem solving itself, especially the learning mechanism related to problem solving. In this paper, we analyze the learning mechanism of problem solving, and propose that when…

Pessemier, Edgar A.; Root, H. Paul – 1972
This paper examines the application of different planning models to the new product development process. Various models are discussed in relation to the four principal stages of the process: product search, project development, market structure analysis, and investment analysis. The authors emphasize that all useful planning models must address a…

Brown, John Seely – Educational Horizons, 1985
Discusses several themes that are basic to thinking about the potential impact of technology on learning. These include learning by doing, enhancing students' abilities to play with ideas, students' mental processes of reasoning and problem solving, and motivating students to learn. (CT)

Uhlig, George E. – 1984
Dangers are inherent in predicting the future. In discussing the future of computers, specifically, it is useful to consider the brief history of computers from the development of ENIAC to microcomputers. Advances in computer technology can be seen by looking at changes in individual components, including internal and external memory, the…
