Module 1 - Activity 12: Problem-solving skills

This activity was a real opener because I realize that the way in which one approaches a problem will be the determinate factor for it's failure or success. We as educators need to use the correct approaches if our efforts are to be successful. We should also remember to involve our students in the process of problem solving because they are full of ideas that can help.

Here is a quick reminder of some of the strategies for problem solving:-

• brainstorming
• concept mapping
• big six
• define, design and select
• make a list
• draw a diagram
• divide and conquer
