Using “talking Aloud Pair Problem Solving” to Enhance Student Performance in Productivity Software Course
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper looks at the impact of “Talking Aloud Pair Problem Solving” (TAPPS) on student performance in a productivity application course. The argument is that success working with productivity applications involves success solving problems. By enhancing students’ problem solving skills, TAPPS enhances student performance. The empirical evidence presented indicates that those students who followed the TAPPS process did indeed perform better.
