The Development of Experimental Set on Internet of Thing (IoT) Based on Constructivist Theories to Enhance Ill-Structured Problem Solving for Engineering Students

Abstract

Ill-Structured Problem Solving is the most important skill for Engineering in the 21st century. Thus, the purpose of this research was to synthesize the designing framework and construct the experimental set on Internet of Thing (IoT) based on constructivist theories to enhance ill-structured problem solving for engineering students. Document analysis and survey research were employed in this study. The result revealed that: 1) The designing framework consisted of 5 stages and 7 elements, as follows: (1) Activating cognitive structure and promoting Ill-structured problem solving, (2) Supporting for adjusting of cognitive equilibrium, (3) Supporting for enlarging cognitive structure, (4) Enhancing Ill-structured problem solving, (5) Supporting and encouraging knowledge construction. The 7 elements are as follows: (1) Problem Bases, (2) Learning Resources, (3) Social Collaboration Center, (4) Cognitive Tools, (5) Ill-structured problem solving Center, (6) Scaffolding Center, (7) Coaching Center. 2) The Prototyping of experimental set on Internet of Thing.
