The Design and Development of the Cognitive Innovation to Enhance Problem Solving

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to design and develop a cognitive innovation to enhance problem solving. The target group were the 3 experts who reviewed document and designing framework and the 3 experts to evaluate the cognitive innovation. Research designs was the Developmental Research Type 1 which comprising of 3 processes: l) I)esign Process and 2) Development Process, which comprising of synthesis of theoretical and designing framework and develop the cognitive innovation and 3) Evaluation Process which evaluated the efficiency of the cognitive innovation. The results were revealed that: the synthesis of the designing framework based on theoretical framework which then put into practicing comprised of 8 components as the following: l) Problem base, 2) Learning resource, 3) Related case, 4) Cognitive tool, 5) Collaboration, 6) Center for enhancing problem solving, 7) Coaching and 8) Scaffolding; and reviewed the effectiveness by experts in the evaluation prcw•ess as follows: l) product assessment, 2) contextual utilization assessment, 3) learner's opinions assessment; the cognitive innovation to enhance problem solving is appropriate on 3 aspects: content, media and designing, 4) assessment of learners' cognitive ability; The problem solving abilities were found 6 procedures of student's problem solution as (l) identified problem gap, (2) identified and explained exact problems, (3) created possible solutions, (4) evaluate the possibility of solution use, (5) applied the solution, and (6) adjusted such solutions, and 6) assessment of learning achievement (x = 18.75, S.D. 1.78) that every learner passes the 70% criterion of the specific scores.
