Research on instructional design strategies for training students’ problem solving ability

Abstract

With the proposal of “China’s students’ development core qualities”, the new period puts forward higher requirements for students’ innovative spirit and practical ability. Problem solving, as one of the qualities needed for practical innovation, occupies an important position, and there is very little research on instructional design to improve student problem-solving skills from the perspective of teachers. At the same time, with the continuous development of new technologies such as big data and internet of things, teacher education must also follow the trend. Teachers need to think about how to reshape and grow professionally in the wave of education reform. This article selects a junior high school geography teacher as the research object and tries to construct a teaching design strategy that aims at the cultivation of students’ problem solving skills. There are situation-constructed strategy, task-driven strategy, and thinking-inspired strategy, and based on these strategies we create an aided analysis table and an teaching design evaluation scale, so as to provide valuable reference for teachers’ teaching design, and improve students’ problem-solving abilities.
