Factors Affecting Technological Trouble Shooting Skills.
MacPherson, Randall T.
Journal of Industrial Teacher Education, v35 n4 p5-28 Sum 1998
Cognitive technical skills assessments, the Group Embedded Figures Test, Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking assessment, and a problem-solving inventory were completed by 15 maintenance technicians. Near-transfer problem-solving skills were predicted by cognitive ability, years of experience, and critical thinking. Field dependence/independence and problem-solving style were not effective predictors. (SK)
