Designing Framework of Multimedia Learning Environment to Enhance Problem Solving Transfer

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to synthesize theoretical framework and designing framework for multimedia learning environment to enhance problem solving transfer. The developmental research Type I: Design and Development (Richey and Klein, 2007) was employed in this study. The procedures were as following: 1) to examine and analyze the principles and theories 2) to explore the context concerning knowledge construction and problem solving transfer, and 3) to synthesize theoretical framework and designing framework of the multimedia learning environment to enhance problem solving transfer. The result revealed that: The theoretical framework consists of 3 foundation: 1) Psychology base, 2) Pedagogical base, and 3) Technological base. The designing framework of the multimedia learning environment to enhance problem solving transfer comprises of 4 aspects as follows: 1) The activation of cognitive structure and Problem Solving Transfer, 2) The support for adjusting cognitive conflict and Problem Solving Transfer, 3) The support for problem solving transfer, 4) To promote and support equilibrium, and the multimedia learning environment to enhance problem solving transfer comprises of 5 components as follows: 1) Problem base 2) Learning resource 3) Scaffolding 4) Related Case 5) Coaching
