19. Thinking Skills Principle (Whole Task Course Design)

What Thinking Skills Principle (Whole Task Course Design) Is

According to Clark and Mayer (2011), whole task course design teaches by show-and-do (directives) and problem solving (guided discovery) (Clark & Mayer, 2011, p.339-367). It begins with an authentic work assignment that integrates basic knowledge skills. The instruction is taught in a realistic world environment offering opportunity to critically think about the task.
