2. 1. Engineering problem solving : The case of the Laplace transform as a difficulty in learning in electric circuits and as a tool to solve real world problems

   Author : Margarita González Sampayo; Caroline Baillie; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; engineering students; understanding; electric circuit theory; learning engineering; Education; Pedagogik;

   Abstract : For engineers it is important to be able to use the ’skill’ of for example handling novel situations in powerful ways and to develop and design. They are expected to be able to understand theories and models and their connection to objects and events in the physical world and being able to apply these models and theories. READ MORE

4. 2. Learning to solve problems that you have not learned to solve: Strategies in mathematical problem solving

   Author : Éva Fülöp; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Problem-solving strategies; Problem-solving ability; Variation theory; Design principles; Classroom teaching; Design-based research DBR ;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationship between problem-solving strategies and success in mathematical problem solving. In its introductory part, it pursues and describes the term strategy in mathematics and discusses its relationship to the method and algorithm concepts. READ MORE

5. 3. What’s the Problem? Reformulating the Problem for Balanced-Strategy Creation

   Author : Sveinung Jørgensen; Per Skålén; Håvard Teigen; Stefan Tengblad; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Problem formulation; balanced-strategy creation; the means-end fallacy; decision-making; corporate social responsibility; creativity; Problemformulering; balanserad strategiutveckling; medel-mål felslutet; beslutsteori; företagets sociala ansvarstagande; kreativitet; Business studies; Företagsekonomi; Business Administration; Företagsekonomi;

   Abstract : By asking “What’s the problem?” this thesis addresses the crucial relationship between how strategic decision-makers formulate organizational problems and how the relevant actors attempt to solve these problems. This thesis holds that the creation of strategy can be conceived of as a decision-making process in which the strategists find, formulate and attempt to solve problems by choosing a set of means to reduce the perceived gap between the current state and the desired state of the organization.

6. 4. On problems, joint problem solving and change - A human behavioural approach in a construction sector context

   Author : Lars Sunding; Byggproduktion; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Problem solving.; Human behavior and psychology; Information distortion; Problem formulation; Action research; Behavioral Change; Collaboration; Construction sector;

   Abstract : Critics maintain that there are a number of troublesome issues resulting from the construction sector’s way of operating and that these remain, despite widespread criticism and measures designed to change all of this. The construction sector’s and the critics’ manner of describing these problems fails to a large extent to take into consideration the way people function in connection with practical problem solving.

7. 5. The flight perturbation problem : operational aircraft rescheduling

   Author : Tobias Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : When there is a perturbation in a carefully planned flight schedule, e.g. an aircraft breakdown, it is important to minimize the negative consequences of this disturbance. In this thesis, a model and a number of solution strategies for the Flight Perturbation Problem is presented. READ MORE
