Abstract

In this article we address how to teach the use of heuristics in problem solving. We present an approach using a new support model within an online tutoring system. The outcomes of a pilot study conducted in the Netherlands are discussed. On the basis of these outcomes we make suggestions to improve the model and its implementation.
