Practical Research in High School "Information" Using a problem-solving Study Activity

Abstract

The subject of "Information" was included in the new course of study revised in 1998. In order to achieve the aims of "Information", a curriculum was developed in which the time allocated to "Information A" was increased by one class unit per week. Problem-solving modules which included both self-evaluation and peer evaluation in study activities were developed, and used in the lessons. Through such lessons, students discovered their study problems using self-evaluation and peer evaluation. In addition, students could better understand the problem-solving process.
