Problem Solving and Enquiry 5-14
Teachers
In this clip Anne Henry, the headteacher, and Janice McVicar from Howwood Primary School describe the use and purposes of pupils’ personal problem solving folders - in which all problems solved, including computer based activities, are retained for future reference.
The teachers’ role in these cases seems to be to check that the pupils’ folders are being kept up to date.
