Minesweeper and Hypothetical Thinking Action ResearchSlide2

Goals of Action Research

To see if the Minesweeper game has promise to teach logical skills that aide in hypothetical and critical thinking, thus reducing dysrationalia.

To see if the Minesweeper game has promise in helping people to use a computer better.

To learn about the action research process.Slide3

Metacognition about Minesweeper

One must understand the rules (system), otherwise everything is just “shooting in the dark”

The strategy is to eliminate possibilities where possible to reduce or eliminate the need to guess.

A wrong hypothesis (assumption) will lead to a wrong conclusion, and lead to failure.

Paying attention first to what is solvable, leads to more information that can be used to solve what originally was not possible.Slide4
