2012
Abstract
The invited plenary lecture focused on an example of the way to change the teacher's and his pupils' relationship towards problems from a tool for pupils' assessment and classification according to their school results to looking at problems themselves. The main aim was to find out to which extent this approach can be beneficial for the student's ability to solve problems and to learn.
