Teaching Effective Problem Solving Strategies for Interns
Warren, Louis L.
Educational Research Quarterly, v29 n2 p48-54 Dec 2005
This qualitative study investigates what problem solving strategies interns learn from their clinical teachers during their internships. Twenty-four interns who completed their internship in the elementary grades shared what problem solving strategies had the greatest impact upon them in learning how to deal with problems during their internship. The four problem solving strategies that emerged from the qualitative data were modeling, re-play, personal storytelling, and role-play. Select comments are included as well as the demographics of the subjects. This study concludes that clinical teachers have a significant impact upon their interns in terms of teaching them how to deal with problems effectively.
