Of Course You Can!

You can include Problem Solving into any instructional plan.

Instructional activities may include:

· working backwards from a conclusion

· analyzing an existing process

· determining a sequence of events

· creative thinking

· scientific experimentation based on a theory

Keep in mind these points:

- Clarify the initial problem when necessary (but don't give away the answers!)

- Use additional resources/materials when necessary

- Keep workgroups small

- Help the students understand when to use the technique
