摘要

This is a work in progress dealing with problem solving across disciplines in an attempt to make engineering students better problem solvers. The purpose is to enable students to identify common types of problems in a variety of subject areas and to help them learn appropriate strategies suggested by each problem type. A previous investigation reported on a survey of math, physics and engineering faculty with respect to the types of problems they employed in their instruction. A major result of this study was that little common vocabulary is used to describe problems and problem solving. Therefore, the additional result that the disciplines do not share a common approach to categorizing problem types and appropriate solution techniques is not surprising. In order for interdisciplinary efforts to make further progress, it appeared that a common language and framework were needed. The current investigation deals with developing a problem-solving vocabulary and then a method of problem categorization that could be agreed upon by STEM disciplines. Starting with problem-solving words that appeared in transcripts of the faculty interviews, a vocabulary list was developed by consulting dictionaries, faculty, and national problem solving experts. With this in hand, a matrix was developed to categorize problems. This framework shows some promise as a means for promoting useful problem-solving conversations among faculty, and may have explicit applications in the classroom, as well. Work in the immediate future will focus on sharing, testing, and improving the matrix. From there, it will be employed as a tool for curriculum design. Ultimately, studies will investigate if students in courses affected by this categorization scheme are more efficient and effective problem solvers, and if they more readily transfer problem-solving skills from one course to another.
