Abstract	Purpose: This paper aims to describe the web-based scaffold dynamic simulation system (PRES-on) designed for pre-service teachers. Design/methodology/approach: The paper describes the initial design of a web-based scaffold dynamic simulation system (PRES-on) as a cognitive tool for learners to represent problems. For the widespread use of the PRES-on, the authors adopt the design experiment methodology to advance pre-service teachers' pedagogical applications of such engine for effective teaching and learning through the integration of PRES-on into the existing pre-service course. Findings: A proto-type of the system has been completed and the authors are in the process of enhancing its features. Ultimately, they will build in all the features stated in the literature review and integrate it into pre-service teachers' curriculum where the aim is to seek to understand its pedagogical applications. The current design only incorporated a quantitative component. The authors are in the process of embedding features that will allow users to build in qualitative representation and different level of question prompts that will facilitate users' cognitive processes. Originality/value: This study contributes to the growing interests among researchers and educators in using web-based technologies to foster deep learning. Being one of the first initiatives to develop a web-based scaffold dynamic simulation system for problem solving purpose, PRES-on will inform the understanding on how new technological developments could enhance learning in environments that involve multidisciplinary problem solving.
