Abstract

Our approach to learning is based on the premises that learning is facilitated by generative problem solving, collaborative work on problems, and use of multiple cases; that knowledge construction and skill acquisition can be scaffolded through software; and that a computer environment which integrates a shared and structured electronic workspace can effectively support all of the above. McBAGEL (Multiple Case-Based Approach to Generative Environments for Learning) is a computer environment integrating many of these functions. McBAGEL has profited from the close interaction between its designers and its users: the middle school students and teachers. The first extended field tests of McBAGEL will be conducted in spring 1996 in several middle schools around Atlanta.
