This document discusses problem solving techniques in three paragraphs:
1) It defines problem solving as an instructional strategy that involves motivating students to analyze problems, put forward hypotheses to solve them, and test those hypotheses.
2) It outlines the 5 steps of problem solving: 1) define the problem, 2) brainstorm ideas, 3) decide on a solution, 4) implement the solution, and 5) review the results.
3) It discusses improving problem solving skills by understanding the 5 steps and working to strengthen areas of weakness by teaming up with others who have complementary strengths.
2. May be defined as an area of concern, a gap in the
existing knowledge, or a deviation in the norm or
standard that points to the need for further understanding
and investigation. Although many problems turn out to
have several solutions (the means to close the gap or
correct the deviation), difficulties arise where such means
are either not obvious or are not immediately available.
This then requires some research to reach a viable
solution.
A problem ( in general )
3. Is an instructional (educational ) strategy that relies
on motivating students to analyze, think, put forward
alternatives or hypotheses and test them. The teacher
begins by asking a question or problem that represents
a mental challenge to students, and asks them to study
this problem and observe the phenomena related to it.
Then he put forward hypotheses to explain or solve that
problem.
Then students begin to test those alternatives or
hypotheses to arrive at the best solution. This strategy
falls within the inductive curriculum for teaching. There
are specific steps to solve problems and strategies as
well, and there is a close relationship.
4. The goal of a statement of the problem is to transform a generalized
problem into a targeted, well-defined problem; one that can be
resolved through focused writing and careful decision-making.
Writing a statement of the problem should help you clearly
identify the purpose of the writing you will propose. often, the
statement of the problem will also serve as the basis for the
introductory section of your final proposal, directing your reader’s
attention quickly to the issues that your proposed writing will address
and providing the reader with a concise statement of the proposed
writing itself.
A statement of problem need not be long and elaborate: many
lines are more than enough for a good statement of problem.
What are the goals of statements of the problem?
5. Problem solving consists of using generic methods in an orderly
manner to find solutions to problems. Some of the problem-solving
techniques developed and used in philosophy, artificial intelligence,
computer science, engineering, mathematics, medicine and
societies, in general are related to mental problem-solving
techniques studied in psychology and cognitive sciences.
In short, problem solving occurs when people act to reduce the
discrepancy between “what they want and what they get.”
In general, Problem-solving exams come in a variety of forms,
from multiple choice to short answer (paragraph) to long
calculations.
What is" Problem solving" technique?
6. Problem-solving strategies are the steps that
one would use to find the problems that are in the
way to getting to one's own goal. Some refer to
this as the "problem-solving cycle".
Problem-solving strategies
7. What is the problem you are trying to solve? It is
important to identify a problem after careful consideration
of existing data, or the information that is gathered for
analysis.
- Break the problem into parts (if possible). Small
parts are easier to work with and often lead to the
information necessary for the next. Start at a point that
you understand best and work from there.
Step 1: Define the Problem
8. What are some ways to solve the problem? The goal
is to create a list of possible solutions to choose from.
The harder the problem, the more solutions you may
need.
- Draw diagrams or flow charts, or make summaries
if needed. In order to organize given information,
arrange everything in a systematic way that you can
easily see. It may help you to find the path you should
take to solve a problem.
Step 2 : Brainstorm Ideas
9. What are you doing? The implementation of a
solution requires planning. where the focus
should be on short implementation cycles with
testing and feedback, not trying to get it “perfect”
the first time.
- Avoid guessing. Work a problem through
from beginning to end. Guessing can be
dangerous and is not recommended.
Step 3 : Decide on a Solution
What are you going to do? The ideal solution
is effective (it will meet the goal).
Step 4 : Implement the Solution
10. Step 5 : Review the Results
What did you do? To know you
successfully solved the problem, it’s
important to review what worked, what
didn’t and what impact the solution had. It
also helps you improve long-term problem
solving skills and keeps you from re-
inventing the wheel.
11. Improving Problem Solving Skills
Once we understand the five steps of problem
solving, we can build our skill level in each one.
Often we’re naturally good at a couple of the
phases and not as naturally good at others. Some
people are great at generating ideas but struggle
implementing them. Other people have great
execution skills but can’t make decisions on which
solutions to use. Knowing the different problem
solving steps allows you to work on your weak
areas, or team-up with someone who’s strengths
complement yours.
12. Writing the Exam
When the time comes to “show what you know,” here
are a few tips and strategies to help you do your best.
-Dump out the details. Find a blank page on the test (the
back of the instruction page, the back of the test, etc.) and
write down the STEPS ,information that you memorized
before starting the test.
- Look over the entire exam before beginning.
- Divide your time according to how much each question is
worth.
13. - Do the easy questions first. Not only does this warm up
your brain, but it also helps to calm exam nerves. The
easier questions can provide helpful hints on how to solve
harder problems later on.
- Read each question carefully and rephrase it in your
own words. This may help you to understand what the
question is asking and remind you how you went about
solving similar problems in the past.
- Clearly mark assumptions, if they are necessary, and
place them at or near the beginning of the solution
whenever possible.
14. - Look at your final answer. Does your answer sound
reasonable, logical, and well-organized? If not, you
probably made an error somewhere. Go back and check
your work, but don't get hung up on a difficult problem, and
remember to stick to your time limits.
- Review at the end. If possible, try to give yourself a
couple of minutes at the end to check all the answers.
15. Is a guided composition technique used by the
teacher to force his students to think rationally to solve
that problem.
We have said it is guided, because it is controlled
totally by the teacher. And the role of the students are
problem solving.

17. 1. I don't think she would buy the first choose because it
has low features and not good for her work.
2. And I sure she wouldn't enjoy for the second choose .
It’s not bad but she is looking for more high properties to
suit her job and favourite colour.
3. The third choose would be suitable for her because
she has a laptop with high features and favourite colour,
and also the laptop good for her strong gaming.
