Writing About the Problem Solving Process to Improve Problem Solving Performance

Kenneth Michael Williams · Mathematics Teacher Learning and Teaching PK-12 · 2003

Problem solving is generally recognized as one of the most important components of mathematics. In Principles and Standards for School Mathematics , the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics emphasized that instructional programs should enable all students in all grades to “build new mathematical knowledge through problem solving, solve problems that arise in mathematics and in other contexts, apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems, and monitor and reflect on the process of mathematical problem solving” (NCTM 2000, p. 52). But how do students become competent and confident mathematical problem solvers?

A problem solving process for problem-based learning

Roger Hadgraft, JKaya Prpic · 1999

Problem-based learning has become a popular alternative teaching and learning approach in many engineering courses. However, a key ingredient, which is often omitted, is teaching students to define and solve problems for themselves. Too often, students expect staff to teach them all the skills and knowledge. The project becomes a process of application rather than one of discovery. This paper sets out a problem-solving process that can allow students to become independent problem solvers and learners.

A systematic information problem-solving process

Te‐King Chien, Hou-Yi Lin, Hon-Yu Ma · 2016

The process of solving information management's problems is a hardheaded thinking in decision-making. Although many scholars proposed related theories and suggestions, these are so conceptual and one-sided that cannot be a systematic application. As the result, enterprises are always disorganized when solving problems. The reason is that enterprises can't clearly utilize systematic processes in an idea of problem-solving. Therefore, this research (1) uses Information Processing Theory to control the concept of problem-solving; (2) builds “Systematic Information Problem-Solving Process” with Pyramid Principle; (3) verifies and modifies the systematic process through qualitative methods. It is believed that the research not only shows a new perspective in academia, but gives enterprises a systematic process to improve the ability of solving problems.

Abstract The Cooperative Problem Solving Process

Michael Wooldridge, Nicholas R. Jennings · 2008

We present a model of cooperative problem solving that describes the process from its beginning, with some agent recognising the potential for cooperation with respect to one of its goals, through to team action. Our approachistocharacterise the mental states of the agents that leads them to solicit, and take part in, cooperative action. The model is formalised by expressing it as a theory in a quanti ed multi-modal logic. 1

Integrating interdisciplinary problem solving through process

Brian Hepburn, Henrik Thorén · Lund University Publications (Lund University) · 2014

An intuitive and appealing way to characterize problem solving is as the application of constraints which reduce the problem-solution space. Any advantage offered by interdisciplinary problem solving would then plausi- bly derive from the integration of constraints from the fields involved. We propose an account of interdisciplinary problem solving which treats the integration of constraints as an iterative process. Appealing to a general- ization of entity-activity dualism from mechanical explanation, we extend the accounts of Bechtel and of Craver to non-hierarchical, non-life-science, interdisciplinary problem-solving. Integration of disciplines occurs at the level of fields and their explanatory frameworks.

Formalising the Cooperative Problem Solving Process

Wooldridge, M. J., Jennings, N. R. · ePrints Soton (University of Southampton) · 1994

One objective of distributed artificial intelligence research is to build systems that are capable of cooperative problem solving. To this end, a number of implementation oriented models of cooperative problem solving have been developed. However, mathematical models of social activity have focussed only on limited aspects of the cooperative problem solving process: no mathematical model of the entire process has yet been described. In this paper, we rectify this omission. We present a preliminary model that describes the cooperative problem solving process from recognition of the potential for cooperation through to team action. The model is formalised by representing it as a theory in a quantified multi-modal logic. A key feature of the model is its reliance on the twin notions of commitments and conventions; conventions (protocols for monitoring commitments) are formalised for the first time in this paper. We comment on the generality of the model, outline its deficiencies, and suggest some possible refinements and other future areas of research.

Problem Solving and the Reference Process.

S. D. Neill · 1975

A few years ago, Gerald Jahoda and Paul Olson constructed a flow chart of the elements in the reference negotiation and search process. Each step in the progression of question clarification and search strategy was identified. Some twenty-five specific decision points and operations were incorporated into this flow chart model, perhaps the most detailed of all the models of the reference process that we have.1 While the reference librarian or the student of reference service can look at this model and see what takes place, he cannot see how it takes place. That is, the mental operations that recognize the type of answer required or modify the search strategy remain unidentified. Nor is it known what is happening in the reference librarian's mind as it selects access

PROBLEM SOLVING ON A STOCHASTIC PROCESS

L. H. Shaffer · Ergonomics · 1965

This study is concerned with man-computer cooperation in which the computer initiates decisions and the man monitors and can alter these. The task used involved controlling an information process by making decisions at each of a sequence of points. The problem of control was to find an optimal procedure that jointly minimized two variables. The solutions of subjects developed over a series of trials were compared with that of an optimal programme under different conditions. Subject performance was nearly always inferior to that of the programme, it was impaired by increasing the rate of the information input and failed to benefit from reduction of uncertainty in the input. Giving trial knowledge of results helped convergence towards an optimal solution. Subjects who had gained experience in the task were given computer solutions to monitor. They degraded optimal solutions and improved inferior solutions towards their own level of performance and failed to benefit from this experience in subsequent tests.

Computer Integration within Problem Solving Process

Teodor Rus · Journal of Software Engineering and Applications · 2022

The complexity of current software tools increases with the complexity of problem solving tasks they are designed to assist and are mainly dedicated to computer educated people. On the other hand current computer technology is deeply involved in people’s everyday life. This gap deepens and stresses software technology and computer education. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the feasibility of a new computer based problem solving methodology based on software tools that can be manipulated through the use of natural language. By computational emancipation the natural language becomes a family of non-ambiguous languages. This means that every problem solver uses a non-ambiguous natural language, termed here as Domain Algorithmic Language, DAL. Here we show how to develop software tools dedicated to the problem domain and illustrate the methodology we propose with the software tools required by teaching high school algebra.

Problem Solving Mental Process: An Overview

Ranjan Jyoti Sarma · International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) · 2021

Improving individuals' and groups' abilities to solve problems and make decisions is recognized as an important issue in education, industry, and government. Recent research has identified a prescriptive model of problem solving, although there is less agreement as to appropriate techniques. Separate research on personality and cognitive styles has identified important individual differences in how people approach and solve problems and make decisions. Human thinking, and in particular, the human ability to solve complex, real-life problems contributes more than any other human ability to the development of human culture and the growth and development of human life on earth. However, the human ability to solve complex problems is still not well understood, partly because it has for a long time been largely ignored by traditional problem-solving research in the field of psychology.

One school's process for problem solving

Paulette Rodgers Simington · VTechWorks (Virginia Tech) · 1997

The purpose for this study was to examine the process that one school staff used to solve a problem. This case study involved Albert Harris Elementary School in Martinsville, Virginia. This school serves all of the students in grades four through six throughout the city of Martinsville. A school improvement team was formed to implement the action research process. This problem-solving process was studied to determine the staff's perception of this procedure and whether it is an effective vehicle for bringing about change in the school. This is a qualitative research study that examines one school's problem-solving process. Data were collected from the participants through reflective journal entries and field notes maintained by the researcher. Members of the school improvement team represented all grade levels and departments within the school. They were introduced to the process through inservice training and received training to strengthen their group processing skills. Identifying the problem was phase one of the action research process. Morale was the problem that the staff selected to address. Collecting data on morale and burnout was phase two of the action research process. School improvement team members shared the information that was discovered during bi-weekly meetings. Team members reached a consensus on interventions to implement. These strategies were put into place and evaluated. There were several themes that emerged as data were analyzed. They included: empowering teachers, interacting with others, narrowing and focusing on one specific problem, involving the staff in the problem-solving process, gaining insight from a variety of sources, branching out into other areas, seeing immediate changes, taking too much time, and understanding that some things are beyond the control of the school improvement team. Data collected from all sources indicated action research is an effective process to use in solving problems and bringing about change in the school. One negative side effect identified in this study, was that using a small team to implement the action research process can create a feeling of isolation for those who do not serve on the team if they are not fully informed of the discussions of the group.

Problem solving techniques for process improvment

Nevzat Kahveci · DergiPark (Istanbul University) · 2018

It is getting more difficult for institutions to compete in a world which is globalized and has constantly changing conditions. At the same time it is necessary to act quickly for increasing the quality of health services and to reduce costs. Problems that arise in the process of service must be resolved quickly. While solving problems, to define problems, to collect data, to analyze and interpret many methods are used. However, before proceeding to problem solving "problems" the word should be well defined.Problems are events which disrupt happiness and bother individuals by stirring minds. At the same time it prevents achieving the goal of individuals and institutions by impairing their efficiency. The events prevents purposeful efforts are problems for corporations. Apart from these it is each case which does not satisfy customer or person that receiving service during the process of production or service.  Definition of the problem, forms the main point of problem solving. A well-defined problem means perform half of research. %15 of the problem appears, %85 reveals during investigation. After definition, appropriate problem-solving methods, processes, viewing processes and solving any problem caused from any process provides support.Continuous improvement initiatives problem solving techniques should be applied successfully by employees. In order to take right decisions in services and processes by diagnosing correctly main causes and solutions with the participation of all employees ensures the continuity of the quality of institutions.

On Solving Concurrent Process Problem in Process-Oriented Programs

Dmitry A. Permiashkin · Vestnik NSU Series Information Technologies · 2023

Prevailing portion of the factories and manufacturers are controlled by programming microcontrollers in the modern world. And the portion keeps growing which is closely tied to processes of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Precisely, with an idea of fully automated manufactures to help humans to make less decisions and make them faster. Or to exclude humans from the decision making process at all. Due to that, there is a need for the controlling algorithms which should react to the different events, be aware of the external world and be tolerant to both internal and hardware failures. There is a process-oriented paradigm which was developed in Institute of Automation and Electrometry SB RAS and suits perfectly for automatization of such algorithms. This is achieved by splitting the algorithm into huge amounts of the small parallel processes highly tied to the elements of the real world. Which is how real processes on real manufactures work. This is where the conflicts during concurrent programming appear. And because there is a fault tolerance requirement there is a need to solve those conflicts. This work presents the analysis of already existing solutions to the conflicts during concurrent programming with the goal of either reusing those solutions in process-oriented programming or adapting them to it. As a result, there is an answer on how effective the process-oriented paradigm is in solving those kinds of conflicts and how fault tolerant those programs are.
