Abstract

The modern lifestyle and the complexity of the situations that people meet at their personal and their learning environment, are making problem solving part of their daily routine. In the educational process, there is the phenomenon where students are able to solve typical problems but cannot apply their knowledge in new ones (Hollingworth & McLoughlin 2001;2005). Hence, the need for the creation of learning environments that utilize ill-structured problems is needed so as to support students in order to develop their skills in solving problems. This research is aiming to create an environment for the development of problem-solving skills in first grade (primary) education. For the objectives of this research, it is chosen the educational method of Problem Based Learning (PBL) which uses ill-structured problems and aims in teaching of problem-solving skills (Elliott & Kennedy, 2006; Lohman & Finkelstein, 2002; Savin-Baden, 2000; Visser, 2002). At the same time, it is utilized a tool of a technology-supported environment called Learning Management System (LMS) and this tool is Moodle, which can support collaborative activities that promote critical thinking and problem solving (West&West, 2009). Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate educational strategies and techniques which can improve efficiently and effectively the learning practice of the students and their critical thinking (Mandernach, 2006). In this respect, present thesis is aiming to implement and evaluate an educational scenario synchronized with PBL and supported by a Learning Management System which is called Moodle, for the development of critical thinking skills in first grade (primary) education.
