INTRODUCTION
English translation pending.
CORE DEFINITION
TASC, Thinking Actively in a Social Context, arranges problem solving as a visible cycle: gather and organise information, identify the problem, generate possibilities, decide, implement, evaluate, communicate, and learn from the experience, after which the wheel returns to its start. Its eight stages span preparation, resolution, and reflection. The wheel is designed for children and novices, giving an abstract process a concrete map so that each step is visible and manageable.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Use visible wheel: post the eight stages somewhere the whole group can see them. - Use identify gate: confirm the problem statement before anyone starts generating ideas. - Use learning loop: close by recording what the experience taught, then start again.
Anchor fast decisions
Problem solving is rendered as a visible wheel of eight stages covering preparation, resolution, and reflection. Because the stages are concrete and sequential, novices have a map to follow instead of facing an abstract process, and the final learning stage loops back to the beginning so the cycle improves over time.
