Abstract

In an effort to understand how educators might most effectively introduce students to innovative thinking, this study investigates students' use of innovation in their development of design solutions. Researchers hypothesize that problem-solving environments influence the degree to which learners exhibit innovative problem-solving approaches. Guided by Schwartz, Bransford, and Sears(2005) adaptive expertise framework, we explore how a problems structure influences students' use of innovative problem-solving strategies. We specifically define two components of innovation for investigation: knowledge-application innovation (i.e. the ability to recognize when certain knowledge applies) and solution innovation (i.e. the range and novelty of ideas produced in the solution search).
