Features: Any learner who cannot achieve a sense of accomplishment during the learning process or doubts the value of what they are learning is likely to lose interest and initiative in learning. This situation makes educators feel sad and disheartened. Therefore, many teachers are constantly trying to stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning, guiding them to deeply understand the importance of knowledge in life, and to experience the power of possessing and utilizing knowledge, as well as the joy of learning. This is also the goal that the authors of this book—both educational researchers and frontline teachers—strive for in their educational practice. How to cultivate children's ability to solve real-world problems in teaching is the starting point and peak of this book's writing. Based on theories such as multiple intelligences, whole-brain learning, constructivism, and collaborative learning, this book provides a detailed introduction to the learning principles of problem-solving, and vividly explains the teaching models, steps, and methods of problem-solving through concrete and lively classroom recordings. It clearly illustrates the application of teaching and learning problem-solving in various subject areas, helping students connect classroom knowledge with life experience, fully develop their potential, and cultivate the ability to learn independently. This book is highly suitable for primary and secondary school teachers, teacher trainers, and educational researchers to read and reference.
