Abstract
Quek, Tay, Toh, Leong, and Dindyal (2011) proposed that a design-theory-practice troika should always be considered for a designed package to be acceptable to the research users who, in this case, are teachers and schools. This paper describes the fine-tuning to the MProSE problem-solving design made by the teachers in the school after first round of teaching. This process involved teacher input from their experience, and detailed time-consuming discussions and learning between the researcher-designers and the teacher-implementers.
