Decision making: The process is the content in an experience based, autonomy-supportive classroom

摘要

This is a multi-step exercise focused on decision making which helps students understand process issues in decision making in complex and uncertain scenarios. It employs a case and how students often focus on the content of decisions, instead of process issues. Process issues are revealed through the use of various tools such as creating a team contract, a team inventory, and the decisions required in the case analysis. These occur across three 75-minute classes but can be adapted to the time available. The paper's structure is organized according to Wiggins and McTighe's (2005) curriculum development model.
