The main new result reported in this paper is a computer‐based approach for training strategic competences in practical jobs such as salesmen or waiters. The environment represents job situations in which the students may act from basic principles. The interaction is similar to that in simulations or microworlds, but there is no underlying model of the activity. In order to provide feedback to the learner, a model has been built which is based on the analysis of a large set of cases provided by experts. This model uses formal knowledge and contextual knowledge in order to build an explanation mechanism providing textual comments and multimedia illustrations.
