This lecture focuses on the importance of problem-solving strategies in learning, drawing from studies by John Hattie and Alan Schoenfeld. It discusses the impact of explicit problem-solving methods on learning outcomes, emphasizing the need for students to explore different approaches and algorithms to tackle complex exercises effectively. The presentation highlights the challenges students face when relying solely on concrete methods and the significance of developing algorithmic thinking skills to succeed in academic settings.
