Abstract
This study aims to analyse students’ problem-solving proficiency and their perceived enjoyment and usefulness after an intra-task flexibility-based training with an intelligent tutoring system. For that purpose, 110 fifth and sixth grade students participated in a two-phase mixed-method study. The first phase consisted of six instructional sessions preceded and followed by test sessions in order to assess eventual problem-solving proficiency gains. Students also completed satisfaction tests with the purpose of analysing their perception towards the training sessions. The second phase consisted of a case study in which a selection of the students solved problems employing intra-task flexibility and answered questions related to the experience. The results reveal that intra-task flexibility improves students’ word-problem proficiency. Besides, although participants do not consider this type of instruction as enjoyable, they evaluate it positively in terms of usefulness.
