The incorporation of game mechanisms into simulations is widely recognised by researchers as beneficial, especially regarding laboratory tasks, where simulation scenarios urge students towards problem-solving and, reflection, thus achieving metacognitive outcomes (Hou & Li, 2014; Hou, 2015).
GSD is a shared decision-making and mutual problem-solving method using reflection sheets, which was developed in diabetes care and adjusted for this study and utilized by patients with schizophrenia.
In this learning environment, supervisors' knowledge, skills, encouragement of a problem-solving approach, critical reflection on practice and the way they supervise students are perceived as important factors affecting students' learning and study approaches (Marrow and Tatum 1994).
The interns perceived blogs to be useful during internship in providing an avenue for knowledge construction, problem solving, reflection, and communicating their emotions.
Based on these tools the investigators developed the Coping Strategy Checklist consisting of 25 items across four dimensions: Cognitive coping ([ 10] items): focused thinking, problem solving, reflection, belief/faith, identifying cause and consequences, anticipate, planning and prepare, systematic thinking, take precautions and relax.
Goal-setting helps patients to act more independently by providing feedback on their self-management behavior thereby also sustaining motivation and increasing problem-solving skills and self-reflection.
These goals are best measured through real student work collected in digital portfolios that include project and problem-solving results, persuasive essays, self-reflections and results from open-ended tasks.
Findings suggested that self-efficacy and metacognitive prompting increased problem-solving performance and efficiency separately through activation of reflection and strategy knowledge.
This study proposes a computer-based learning environment that allows learners to capture their problem-solving process in a visual format for effective thinking and reflection.
Many of the questions asked of the mentors related directly to their own professional development, such as self-evaluation of communication, organization, and problem-solving skills, while other questions related to content knowledge and reflection.
In addition, four students outlined the effect of their own reflections, ideas, independence and new perspectives in the problem-solving process.
