Impasse-Driven Learning

Impasse-Driven Learning (Kurt VanLehn, 1980s) – a process whereby one encounters a problem ("impasse") in their understanding of a topic, prompting efforts to seek out and engage with relevant information or resources to overcome that obstacle. Impasse-driven learning emphasizes targeted support, reflection, and problem-solving.
