Solving a Problem
The
 Solving
a Problem tips take students through basic trouble-shooting
and problem-solving techniques such as alternative courses of action,
prediction of likely consequences, selection of the most appropriate
strategy, examination of complex real-world situations, and evaluating
and recommending the feasibility of various solutions.
Summary:
Students can get bogged down with seemingly overwhelming
problems, particularly when challenged to devise a solution to a
"messy" problem. These Tip Sheets help students sort out
the problems and possible solutions as they visualize their thinking
and learning in the problem-solving process. The steps for solving
a problem are outlined in basic steps and questions. The Tip Sheets
then map students’ thinking patterns to help them "see"
their thinking and work through the steps of identifying problems
and considering solutions. The graphic organizer helps students
record and organize thoughts as they use basic trouble-shooting
and problem-solving techniques such as alternative courses of action,
prediction of likely consequences, selection of the most appropriate
strategy, examination of complex real-world situations, and evaluation
and recommendation of the feasibility of various solutions.
