What are 3 questions that we should ask when evaluating a source?
Critical Questions
- Who is the creator/author/source/publisher of the information? What are the author’s credentials or affiliations?
- Is the author’s expertise related to the subject? Are they an authority on the topic through education, experience, or expertise in the field?
- Whose voices/viewpoints are not being heard?
How do you evaluate a problem solution?
There are various ways of evaluating the possible solutions to a problem.
- defining the ‘ideal’ solution.
- eliminating unviable solutions, ie those which do not meet the constraints.
- evaluating the remaining solutions against the results required.
- assessing the risks associated with the ‘best’ solution and, if acceptable.
What are different problem solving techniques?
Those steps are:
- Define the problem.
- List all the possible solutions.
- Evaluate the options.
- Select the best solution.
- Create an implementation plan.
- Communicate your solution.
What are some examples of problem solving methods?
Problem solving is a highly sought-after skill. There are many techniques to problem solving. Examples include trial and error, difference reduction, means-ends analysis, working backwards, and analogies.
What are the two types of problem solving?
Problem solving has two major domains: mathematical problem solving and personal problem solving. Both are seen in terms of some difficulty or barrier that is encountered.
What are the six common problem-solving approaches?
Six step guide to help you solve problems
- Step 1: Identify and define the problem. State the problem as clearly as possible.
- Step 2: Generate possible solutions.
- Step 3: Evaluate alternatives.
- Step 4: Decide on a solution.
- Step 5: Implement the solution.
- Step 6: Evaluate the outcome.
What makes problem-solving difficult?
The possible solutions are so heavily constrained that constructing even one feasible answer is difficult, let alone searching for an optimum solution. The person solving the problem is inadequately prepared or imagines some psychological barrier that prevents them from discovering a solution.
