Systematizing Scaffolding for Problem-Based Learning: A View from Case-Based Reasoning
Andrew A. Tawfik; Janet L. Kolodner
Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning Vol. 10, No. 1 (2016)
Current theories and models of education often argue that instruction is best administered when knowledge is situated within a context. Problem-based learning (PBL) provides an approach to education that has particularly powerful affordances for...

Using a Recommendation System to Support Problem Solving and Case-Based Reasoning Retrieval
Andrew A. Tawfik; Hamed Alhoori; Charles Wayne Keene; Christian Bailey; Maureen Hogan
Technology, Knowledge and Learning Vol. 23, No. 1 (2018) pp. 177–187
In case library learning environments, learners are presented with an array of narratives that can be used to guide their problem solving. However, according to theorists, learners struggle to identify and retrieve the optimal case to solve a new...

Failing to Learn: Towards a Unified Design Approach for Failure-Based Learning
Andrew A. Tawfik; Hui Rong; Ikseon Choi
Educational Technology Research and Development Vol. 63, No. 6 (2015) pp. 975–994
To date, many instructional systems are designed to support learners as they progress through a problem-solving task. Often these systems are designed in accordance with instructional design models that progress the learner efficiently through the...
