Abstract
- Problem solving is often identified as a goal of science education. What is considered problem solving varies from teacher to teacher. The ultimate goal of problem-solving education has been identified as a means of helping students develop higher-order thinking skills. This ERIC digest focuses on problem solving in secondary school science as illustrated by research studies found in the literature for 1982-88. The digest discusses: the importance of problem solving instruction; problem solving research in biology, chemistry and physics; and implications of problem solving research for science teachers. Seventeen references are included. (CW)
