Problem solving and Affective learning

Problem solving
~~~higher level of learning
~~~require previously acquired knowledge or skills
~~~used to solve unfamiliar problem (personally i feel that cognitive learning theory would be more suitable in problem solving-co-ordinating with a bunch of people for unfamiliar problem will create more problems-- at least i think so~~~)
~~~well structured- problem is clear with the "right" answer
~~~ill structured- problem could be unclear while answer is depending on personal perspective

Affective learning---attitudes
~~~Brain washing?
~~~seems harder to measured or influenced the  learning outcomes
~~~personal experience__this would be the hardest thing to teach the learners, and often most neglected learning outcomes, since no exams on affective learning. 
~~~maybe measured in disiplinary system instead? 
~~~one question- what is the desirable attitude?
