Abstract

This article explains the importance of problem-solving skills in STEM education and why insight is an efficient problem solution searching technology. This paper uses the searching inference model to propose insight as a mechanism in heuristic thinking used to help cognitive agents restructure problem formulation and find problem solutions quickly and efficiently. Lastly, through reviewing previous empirical researches, this paper provides the most reasonable assumption about students can use visual-spatial training and mindfulness meditation to help students develop heuristics to solve STEM problems. The visual-spatial training can include the 3D STEM education game and 3D virtual geometry game. Besides, the mindfulness mediation can be training and used to develop mind-flow states, and it also can increases the insight experiences. This paper suggests that future research should increase the sample size and use tools such as fMRI to demonstrate the mechanisms behind heuristic thinking training. As STEM education is relevant to the country’s engineering, science, and economics, integrating training of students in problem-solving skills into the education system and developing students’ reasoning, decision-making, and problem-solving skills by enhancing the insight experience is worth investigating for the development of STEM education in different countries.
