This volume of New Directions for Teaching and Learning addresses the problem of teaching problem solving. Each of the contributors to this volume believes that problem-solving shills can be taught, and in fact all have taught such shills successfully. Each contributor also believes that the process should be taught on purpose. You will also find a number of concrete suggestions in the volume that you can begin to apply in your own classes tomorrow. The results may come closer than our current efforts do to what we thought higher education was supposed to be about.
