1. Reasoning begins with the Objective.
2. Each step represents a direct relationship.
3. When the pathway reaches information that is known,the pathway is complete.
4. When the pathway reaches the unattainable, theproblem solver must return to a previous objective,eliminating the branch under construction.

In Alberta: there is a clear gap, that nobody owns, betweensecondary and university levels.
In Quebec, is there a gap? By the numbers, no.But do we not also find that students have notdeveloped independence in novel problem-solvingsituations?
Objective: to develop independence in student resolution ofnovel problems
Given: the education system as it exists in Quebec
