Discuss the ways in which experts differ from novices in terms of problem solving. How can you become a better problem solver?

What will be an ideal response?


Experts have longer fixations on regions critical to the performances and fewer, shorter fixations on non-relevant areas. Experts also mentally group aspects of the problems differently than novices do. Experts focus on higher-order problem goals, reducing the problem space. When experts are reminded of past solutions, they are more likely than novices to focus on the underlying structural features of the problems. Experts also generally spend more time analyzing problems, adding relevant knowledge to their representation and planning their solutions. Students should be able to detail the IDEAL framework (Identify problems and opportunities, Define goals, Explore possible strategies, Anticipate outcomes and act, and Look back and learn), and discuss how following it can lead to becoming a better problem solver.
