PROBLEM SOLVING

PROBLEM SOLVING

1. Stages of Problem Solving

   • 1. Problem Identification
     • This stage involves: detecting and recognizing that there is a problem; identifying the nature of the problem; defining the problem.
   • 2. Structuring the Problem
     • 3. Looking for Possible Solutions
       • During this stage you will generate a range of possible courses of action, but with little attempt to evaluate them at this stage.
     • This stage involves: a period of observation, careful inspection, fact-finding and developing a clear picture of the problem.
   • 6. Monitoring/Seeking Feedback
     • The last stage is about reviewing the outcomes of problem solving over a period of time, including seeking feedback as to the success of the outcomes of the chosen solution.
   • 5. Implementation
     • 4. Making a Decision
       • This stage involves careful analysis of the different possible courses of action and then selecting the best solution for implementation.
     • This stage involves accepting and carrying out the chosen course of action.

2. Problem- A matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with and overcome.

3. is cognitive processing directed at transforming a problem from the given state to the goal state.
