Problem solving is at the core of science and engineering practice.

Cultivating proficiency in problem solving is therefore an important, but challenging, goal of science and engineering education. To achieve this goal students must not only develop cognitive but also metacognitive abilities. Metacognition is the awareness of one's thought processes and an understanding of the patterns behind them.

In the workshop Tinne De Laet will share her experience with and research on stimulating students with reflective prompts during their physics problem solving.

She will challenge all participants to start designing learning activities that will stimulate metacognition and problem solving in their own courses.

Workshop leader: Prof. Dr. Tinne De Laet (KU Leuven (Belgium), Faculty of Engineering Science)

Tinne De Laet was recognized with the SEFI Francesco Maffioli Award of Excellence in Teaching of Engineering Education in 2023.
