Abstract
The purpose of this research project is to gain an understanding of the initial stage of a productive failure treatment. The research focuses on how learners solve complex or ill-defined problems in Virtual Singapura, a multi-user virtual environment. The research uses a mixed method approach that employs conversation analysis, questionnaires and pre, mid and post-tests. Complex problems, by their very nature, are difficult for learners to connect with, and this project will focus the initial cycle of a productive failure treatment in order to develop a series of design considerations that teachers can implement in an immersive learning environment to help students develop the strategies necessary to engage with complex problems across domains of knowledge. The project aims to inform theory on productive failure, learner processes and learning in immersive environments.
