Abstract
Complex Problem Solving (CPS) is a key competency in a strongly interconnected
and fast moving world. Problem solvers need to deal with dynamic systems and novel
situations, where experience alone often is not enough. However, trainings so far were
primarily focusing on practicing CPS with limited results. I introduce the concept of
SRL to offer a potential explanation how individuals learn during CPS. Additionally,
SRL offers motivational and metacognitive strategies that could support the CPS
process to develop problem solver’s competencies, and ultimately accelerate their
expertise.
