| | Problem solving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Problem solving in electronics (Lesgold and Lajoie, 1991) | | | There are several methods of studying problem solving, including; introspection, behaviorism, simulation and computer modeling, and experimental methods. | | | Instead, these researchers have frequently focused on the development of problem solving within a certain domain, that is on the development of expertise (e.g. |

| | Decision Making and Problem Solving, by Herbert A. Simon |
| | Problem solving was initially studied principally by psychologists, and more recently by researchers in artificial intelligence. | | | In the 1950s and 1960s, research on problem solving focused on clearly structured puzzle-like problems that were easily brought into the psychological laboratory and that were within the range of computer programming sophistication at that time. | | | Each advance in the understanding of problem solving and learning processes provides new insights about the ways in which a learner must store and index new knowledge and procedures if they are to be useful for solving problems. |

| | Standards for School Mathematics: Problem Solving |
| | Problem solving means engaging in a task for which the solution is not known in advance. | | | However, solving problems is not only a goal of learning mathematics but also a major means of doing so. | | | Problem solving should not be an isolated part of the curriculum but should involve all Content Standards. |

| | Synthesis of Research on Problem Solving |
| | Problem solving as a method of teaching may be used to accomplish the instructional goals of learning basic facts, concepts, and procedures, as well as goals for problem solving within problem contexts. | | | However, constructivism is consistent with current cognitive theories of problem solving and mathematical views of problem solving involving exploration, pattern finding, and mathematical thinking (36,15,20); thus we urge that teachers and teacher educators become familiar with constructivist views and evaluate these views for restructuring their approaches to teaching, learning, and research dealing with problem solving. | | | Finally, problem solving must be in the school mathematics curriculum to allow students to develop the art of problem solving. |

| | Fifty Problem Solving Strategies |
| | Some problems require the right tool, which could be a hammer, a computer, or a metal detector.So whenever you have a problem to solve, consider whether some type of technology might help you. | | | Often the problem solving methods we used and the actual solutions we found effective in the past can work to solve a current problem. | | | Solving a problem usually involves doing something.So, use deductive and inductive reasoning and the scientific method to choose one or more options to implement. |

| | Problem-solving |
| | A problem is solved by a sequence of actions that reduce the difference between the initial situation and the goal | | | The problem is solved if such a series of actions has been found, and the goal has been reached. | | | Such problems are solved by a deterministic algorithm: at every decision point there is only one correct choice. |

| | Introduction to Problem Solving |
| | One of the most frequent failures of problem solving is the lack of evaluation of the implemented solution. | | | Most problems we face are small, some are large and complex, but they all need to be solved in a satisfactory way. | | | A problem results from the recognition of a present imperfect and the belief in the possibility of a better future. |

| | Solving Problems in Physics |
| | The "solved problems" in your book are extraordinarily valuable and they deserve your careful study, but they represent the end product of a problem solving session and they rarely show the process involved in reaching that end product. | | | The problems and examinations in this physics course exercise not only your knowledge of physics but also your skill in solving problems. | | | Problems often have geometrical symmetry from which you can determine the direction of a vector but not its magnitude. |

| | There are many approaches to problem solving, depending on the nature of the problem and the people involved in the problem. | | | The more traditional, rational approach is typically used and involves, eg, clarifying description of the problem, analyzing causes, identifying alternatives, assessing each alternative, choosing one, implementing it, and evaluating whether the problem was solved or not. | | | Problem Solving (broad overview; helps to organize thoughts about problem solving) |

| | If the problem you are trying to solve has already been solved by others, by all means learn that solution first, even if you intend to improve on it. | | | In solving the problem, you may create a more efficient solution than anyone has before you (translation: nature might smile on you). | | | By solving the problem yourself, you become less dependent on experts, authorities, technical super-beings, perhaps even to the extent that those people will be reduced to human proportions. |
