The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A metacognitive-based instruction for Primary Four students to approach non-routine mathematical word problems (2014, background): “In fact, the approaches tend to be rigid (Fan and Zhu 2007), and involve a routinized application of heuristics (Silver et al. 2005; Schoenfeld 2007; English et al. 2008).”
AN INVESTIGATION ON CHINESE TEACHERS’ REALISTIC PROBLEM POSING AND PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITY AND BELIEFS (2011, background): “Typically, working towards these higher-order goals of solving and posing real-life and open-ended problems happens by having students solve (and to a lesser extent also pose) word problems (Schoenfeld, 2007; Verschaffel, Greer & De Corte, 2000).”
Engineering Students' Perceptions of Problem Solving and Their Future (2018, background): “The researchers’ preconceived notions of problem solving from existing literature (Jonassen, 2000, 2004, 2010; Schoenfeld, 1985, 1992, 2008) and the dominant cultural trends around problem solving in engineering (Litzinger et al., 2010) were bracketed prior to our interactions with the participants.”
Rethinking the role of algorithms in school mathematics: a conceptual model with focus on cognitive development (2014, background): “For many decades terms such as ‘‘rote learning’’ and ‘‘real understanding’’ have coloured the debate on learning mathematics (Schoenfeld 2007).”
