Various scholars have emphasized thatdispositions and beliefs must be studied in order to fully understand the development ofmathematical problem-solving ability5,6. Studies have shown that many K-12 and collegestudents come to believe that mathematics is a rule-driven, linear, solitary, school-only activity,in which problems have one correct solution that should be quickly evident and where trueunderstanding requires special talent 4,7. This counterproductive view can intimidate anddiscourage students and filter them out of science, technology, engineering, and mathematical(STEM) fields2,8,9. Acknowledging this problem, mathematics

Similar findings were observed in Geisinger and Raman’s2013 analysis of student attrition from engineering majors [9]. In that study, the authorsexamined fifty publications from literature and identified a common set of factors drivingstudents’ decisions to leave engineering majors, including an individualistic culture and relianceon traditional forms of teaching and advising, difficulty understanding the material anddiscouragement related to competitive grading structures, students’ lack of self

Our goal with this research project within alaboratory setting was to improve students’ open-ended problem solving skills, motivated by theinstructor’s observations during the previous semester. Unfortunately, he had observed difficulty,low achievement levels, and even panic in solving open-ended problems.Our laboratory is part of a junior-level bioengineering course in biological signals and systems.The course introduces students to the

Student (novice) designers tend to think linearly andconcentrate only on the problem at hand. 18 Novices also tend to use trial and error strategiesand lack confidence in their design decisions. 4 The production of artifacts (e.g., programs, UMLdiagrams, etc.) often takes precedence over the design decision-making processes used to createthese artifacts.
