This study explored the mental components that are most important for successful problem solving. Four components were studied: cognition, metacognition, noncognitive variables, and justification skills. It was hypothesized that cognition and knowledge of cognition would predict success at solving well-structured problems, which have one correct…

Howard, Bruce C.; McGee, Steven; Shia, Regina; Hong, Namsoo Shin – 2001
This study sought to examine the effects of meta cognitive self-regulation on problem solving across three conditions: (1) an interactive, computer-based treatment condition; (2) a noninteractive computer-based alternative treatment condition; and (3) a control condition. Also investigated was which of five components of metacognitive…

This study was a summative evaluation of Astronomy Village[R]: Investigating the Solar System[TM]. Funded by the National Science Foundation, Astronomy Village is designed to teach students fundamental concepts in life, earth, and physical science by having them investigate cutting-edge questions related to the solar system. In Astronomy Village…

Howard, Bruce C.; McGee, Steven; Shia, Regina; Hong, Namsoo Shin – 2001
This research study was conducted to examine particular metacognitive monitoring and regulatory skills in the context of solving science problems in a computer-based learning environment. An effort was also made to extend the work of H. Swanson (1990) using a different measure for metacognition and multiple measures of ability, achievement, and…

The Influence of Metacognitive Self-Regulation on Problem-Solving in Computer-Based Science Inquiry.
Howard, Bruce C.; McGee, Steven; Hong, Namsoo S.; Shia, Regina – 2000
This study was conducted to examine particular metacognitive monitoring and regulatory skills (Knowledge of Cognition, Objectivity, Problem Representation, Subtask Monitoring, and Evaluation) in the context of solving science problems within a computer-based learning environment. The study also attempted to replicate the results of H. Swanson's…

Peer reviewedHoward, Bruce C.; McGee, Steven; Shin, Namsoo; Shia, Regina – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2001
Discussion of the triarchic theory of intelligence focuses on a study of ninth graders that explored the relationships between student abilities and the cognitive and attitudinal outcomes that resulted from student immersion in a computer-based inquiry environment. Examines outcome variables related to content understanding, problem solving, and…
