Which of the following assists students in managing their own learning by modelling a problem solving technique?

Mental modelling helps students manage their own learning by demonstrating a problem-solving technique they can internalise and reuse.

A mental model is an organised internal representation of how something works, letting the learner rehearse and monitor steps on their own.

It is closely tied to Ausubel's advance organiser idea, where a structuring framework is shown before new material.

Drill and practice only repeats an item for retention and does not model a reasoning technique.

Discovery learning has the student find answers with little guidance, so the teacher does not model the technique.

Direct instruction transmits a skill explicitly but is teacher-led rather than a self-management tool for the learner.
