Abstract :
This paper describes our continued work in creating a set of narrated dynamically worked-out problems and the team based in-class problem solving for the Electric Circuits students to improve their problem-solving skills by understanding the key concepts and the way that they should be utilized in solving circuits´ problems. The dynamically worked out problems, consists of problem solution annotated with auditory explanations, which students can watch and listen to. The in-class team based problem solving includes students working together, in teams of two, to solve problems that are presented during the lecture and are related to the recorded worked-out problems. The preliminary evaluations of the proposed approach by a group of students and faculty have been very encouraging.
