Abstract
Details are given of the five stages needed to introduce a change by explicitly teaching problem solving. Examples and resources are given for each stage. These are: evaluate the teaching‐learning environment; define what problem solving skills we want to develop; explore the alternatives we have in terms of sequences, learning theories, relationships with other content and teaching/learning environments; develop a plan, and implement and evaluate.Keywords
