Many Roads Lead to Rome. Mapping Users’ Problem Solving Strategies Eva Mayr, Michael Smuc, Hanna Risku Research Center KnowComm Danube University Krems
Problem Solving Eyeryday work   problems are often ill-defined! Ill-defined Well-defined Problem Type More than one correct solutions Ill-defined One correct solution Well-defined Solution Problem Type Multiple ways to get there More than one correct solutions Ill-defined Multiple ways to get there One correct solution Well-defined Problem Solving Strategies Solution Problem Type Reading beyond data (e.g. new hypotheses) Reading in the data  (e.g. concrete value) Example Multiple ways to get there More than one correct solutions Ill-defined Multiple ways to get there One correct solution Well-defined Problem Solving Strategies Solution Problem Type
