A. Meaning of problem solving with respect to education and general life

 

      Problems solving  is a planned attack on difficulty for finding out satisfactory solution.    

 

                Problem solving is the process of transforming the description of a problem into the solution of that problem by using our knowledge of the problem and by relying on our ability to select and use appropriate problem solving strategies  , techniques and tools .

        We all solve problems on a daily basis ,  in academic situation , at work and in our day to day life .

 For example   Suppose we want to visit our grandfather house in abroad , here we will first plan the  route then we will plan  the expenditure for  the tour , plan  the time we invest  etc etc

 

 

 

 

B. Objectives of problem solving

---The learner will analyse the depth of the problem

---The learner will gather the information related to the problem

---The learner will analyse the theoretical knowledge and real life knowledge

---At last learner will develop the habit of adaptation and problem solving skills

 

 

 

 

 

 

C. skills Required to solve a problem effectively

 

  Problem solving require all types of mental skills analytical and creative skills .

Problem solving also requires inductive and deductive skills  , scientific approach

 

              Analytical or logical thinking includes skills  such as ordering , comparing , contrasting evaluating  , selecting etc etc .

 

           It provides a logical Framework for problem solving and helps to select the best possible solution in that situation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

D. Stages to solve  a problem

Step 1- Identifying and defining the problem

Step 2 - Analysing the problem

step 3- Formulating tentative hypothesis

step 4 -Testing the hypothesis

step 5 -Verifying of the result  

 

  Below are the full detail....

 

Step 1- Identifying and defining the problem :

       here we will first identify and define the problem

 Like what type of problem it is  or What is our problem  or where is our problem or  which is our problem .

 

 

 

Step 2 - Analysing the problem

  Here we analyse like whether it will take too much effort or  less effort , whether it will take too much time or less time , whether our problem is simple or complex .

 

 

 

step 3- Formulating tentative hypothesis

Here we will construct some theory and hypothesis and we will concept all the theory inside our mind before doing the practical.

 

 

 

step 4 -Testing the hypothesis

   Here we will do all the practicals related to the hypothesis and theory formulated inside our mind.

 

 

step 5 -Verifying of the result 

At last we will verify the result and outcomes the theory and practical , whether we get our desired results or we failed in our mission .

 

 

 

 

 

 

E. Precautions  for problem solving approach in teaching pedagogy.

     ---The problem should be clear and definite

---  The problem should be Meaningful and challenging for the students

--- The problem should be Interest generating for the student

--- The problem should be Related to real life situation

 

---The student should have some previous knowledge of the problem which they are going to discuss

 

 ---The solution of the problem should be found out by the learners themselves under the guidance of teacher

 

---Suitable age , physical and mental capability of the student should be taken into account before putting the problems.
