3.5: Problem Solving
Problem Solving is an essential skill for participants to have. It is also a great compliment to action planning and brainstorming.
Not as simple as just finding an answer, the skill of problem solving involves:
1. Clearly defining the problem
2. Identifying possible solutions
3. Selecting the best solution
4. Implementing the solution
Problem solving and brainstorming can be used anytime when faced with a challenge. This is a great method to use when assisting participants in finding solutions.
If participants feel they have a tool to call upon in a time of difficulty, their self-efficacy increases.
