Research on Design and Application of Problem-solving Oriented Adult Online Courses
Adult learners'education emphasizes the cultivation of problem-solving skills.Although previous studies have proposed various suggestions for the design of adult online courses from different perspectives,there is still a lack of a specific framework for the development of high-level cognitive abilities such as pro-blem-solving.This study,based on the perspective of deep learning,constructs a framework for adult online course design oriented towards problem-solving from five dimensions:cognition,interaction,emotion,activity,and environment.It explores the effectiveness of this framework in promoting the development of adults'pro-blem-solving skills in real teaching processes and investigates how the five dimensions influence the develop-ment of adults'problem-solving skills through path analysis.Enhancing problem-solving skills requires adult learners to engage in active and meaningful knowledge construction under the guidance of course design and learning activities.Cognitive transfer occurs during teacher-student and student-student interactions,and a posi-tive atmosphere and a mutual assistance learning community have a positive impact on the cultivation of prob-lem-solving skills.The design of adult online courses should focus on subjectivity,practicality,constructiveness,and orientation.The results of this study can assist in the design of adult online courses aimed at problem-solv-ing and provide a basis for targeted design of learning activities and implementation of teaching interventions.
