Abstract

A critical element in university education is the ability to problem solve.  When presented a given problem, the student should first arrange the content required to solve the problem in a design stage and then analyze and solve the problem.  To develop the design stage of problem solving, we examined an educational method using Excel as a platform.  The design ability of students was examined in a process where they were required to arrange and solve a problem on an Excel worksheet.  The results of testing and a questionnaire indicated that the students successfully acquired design ability in problem solving.
