structured problem solving

‣PMOPS (procedural model of problem solving)

2. generate and explain possible solutions

3. evaluate all possible solutions

4. choose the best solution 5. implement the chosen solution

structured problem solving

‣PMOPS (procedural model of problem solving)

1. describe and analyze the problem ‣ state problem as single, clear problem question ‣ focus on problem before discussing how to solve it‣ describe the problem thoroughly

‣web / fishbone diagram

writing a research question

‣ How does “specific problem” affect the local community; specifically, why does the problem exist, what is the magnitude, what are the costs, who are the populations affected; and why can’t we fix it?
