Dunlap, William P.; McKnight, Martha – Academic Therapy, 1980
Fourteen steps are suggested: perceive problem, decode written symbols, formulate general meaning, translate the general message into the mathematical message, determine question(s), gather data, analyze relationships, decide on processes, estimate answers, encode data into mathematical sentences, perform operations, answer questions, and check…

Koons, Theresa L. – Academic Therapy, 1985
A step-by-step procedure for teaching students to solve time-lapse problems allows the student to convert what is normally a pure mental process to a systematic paper and pencil activity coupled with a step-by-step thought pattern. (CL)

Cook, Ruth E.; Slife, Brent D. – Academic Therapy, 1985
The article addresses obstructions to problem solving (such as an overemphasis on learning facts) and suggests six steps to overcome those obstacles: (1) recognizing that the problem exists, (2) understanding the problem, (3) analyzing the problem, (4) considering alternative solutions, (5) choosing the best solution, and (6) evaluating the…

Neibart, Marilyn – Academic Therapy, 1986
The author reviews the role of logic problems in teaching thinking strategies to LD students. Devising one's own written logic problems is advocated to present less wordy tasks. (CL)

Harth, Robert; And Others – Academic Therapy, 1981
Adding mediation (guidance in problem solving) to an educational task enabled learning disabled sixth graders to produce superior performances compared with unmediated tasks. The author contends that focus on problem-solving skills is needed as much as emphasis on reading and perceptual skill development for learning disabled students. (CL)

Horowitz, Jeff – Academic Therapy, 1986
The author presents ideas for allowing LD students to discover ways to improve their problem-solving skills. Activities touch upon the influence of the environment, the need for patience and planning, factors in sequencing and organization, and the importance of thoroughness and revision. (CL)

Hall, Robert J. – Academic Therapy, 1984
The author analyzes the problem-solving nature of spelling, notes its cognitive components, and reviews research findings relevant to learning disabled students. He emphasizes the need to understand spelling developmentally and chart-succeeding stages. (CL)

Kane, Martin – Academic Therapy, 1984
The second of two articles defines terms associated with in two contrasting cognitive approaches to promoting problem solving: the visual/spatial, holistic style (terms such as face recognition, impulsive) and the verbal analytic and detail-oriented style (terms such as logical, sequential, and focalized). (CL)

Valett, Robert E. – Academic Therapy, 1986
Learning disabled students need systematic instruction in thinking skills. Both individual clinical studies and group programs have proven such training effective. Some important thinking strategies include goal clarification, previewing, organization, questioning, imagining, predicting, checking results, humor, and self-monitoring techniques. (DB)

Lowenthal, Barbara – Academic Therapy, 1986
Methods are suggested to stimulate learning disabled children to develop the metacognitive skills of: (1) reflecting on what they already know, (2) devising a plan for attacking the problem, (3) monitoring progress, and (4) evaluating the outcome of the plan. (DB)

Rothman, Rosalind W.; Cohen, Jill – Academic Therapy, 1989
The article offers teachers suggestions on ways to instruct elementary students in the vocabulary of mathematics. It gives examples of math difficulties at the elementary school level, math difficulties related to vocabulary, and math difficulties related to problem solving. (DB)

Dworkin, Nancy; Dworkin, Yehoash – Academic Therapy, 1982
Problem solving assessment complements traditional testing of students by providing information on how learners move to appropriate solutions. In the problem solving assessment, the examiner may participate fully since the interaction between adult and child and not the ceiling is under examination. (SW)

Shankman, Albert L. – Academic Therapy, 1974
An optometrist hypothesizes that poor reading skills stem from a child's inability to discern relationships among objects, people, concepts or instructional materials and suggests that physical problem-solving tasks that utilize several sense modalities simultaneously provide effective remedial treatment. (LH)
