"DSEs are explicitly are explicitly aimed at supporting students engaged in design of complex artifacts, such as software, instruction, and static body
diagrams" (Guzdial & Kehoe in Journal of Interactive Learning Research, vol 9, no3/4, 1998)."DSE provide scaffolding in the software ... by simplifying the task environment through
- changing the process and providing a large library of cases ...
- providing coaching...
- frequently eliciting articulation...
- providing a mechanism for fading the scaffolding
DSEs typically do not present problems or situations to students ... and instead try to provide scaffolding for the general task of design. The authenticity and sequence of tasks is left to the curriculum..." (ibid).
Typically a DSE contains a component library while cognitive apprenticeship approaches rather present entire cases or projects. |
