This is often referred to as chunking. • Discrepancy Detection: This strategy emphasizes the identification of discrepancies or de- viations from expected system behavior to locate faults.Of these strategies, researchers have observed that novice programmers tend to resort to trial anderror when debugging software programs [13]. Understanding and mastering additional, moresystematic troubleshooting strategies could aid novices in improving their troubleshooting abilitiesin various domains.3 MethodologyTo identify circuit troubleshooting techniques, we conducted an exploratory, qualitative study.

In assessing their responses, we defined the following numerical rubric scale: 1. Limited (score 1): the student was unable to describe most of the major activities; 2. Satisfactory (2): the student was able to describe several but not all of the major activities; 3. Mastered (3): the student accurately described all of the major activities. Two instructors performed the assessment. On a 1-to-3 scale, the mean was 2.23 and the standard deviation was 0.62. We feel that this result is good, but we hope to improve. Spring 2012 Mid

Some typical problem solutions are demonstrated by the instructor and studentspractice problem solving among other activities in order to master the learning outcomes.Problems could be realistic or abstract. Recent research suggests that abstract problems havesome advantages over others (Kaminski, Sloutsky, Heckler, 2008). However, unlike PDL, animportant aspect of PDT is that instructor plays an active role in teaching activities.In a PBL environment, students are usually divided into teams to work on problems. In thismodel the problems are expected to drive the learning activities, a common practice in medicalscience, particularly in psychiatry (Adamowski, Frydecka, & Kiejna, 2007). In this strategy

While part of my findingsindicates a focus on preventing cheating, much of the emphasis appears to also be place onvaluing the problem-solving process and progression over simply obtaining the correct finalanswer.Through various statements and grading practices, ID1 promoted an understanding-drivenassessment style that possibly nurtured student learning, comprehension, and growth in a mannerdistinct from traditional academic grading systems. This focus on process rather than outcomemay hint at an educational philosophy that values the underlying mechanics of problem-solvingas fundamental to mastering engineering principles. For example, ID1 awarded substantial creditfor showing the correct
