1. PROBLEM SOLVING
METHOD
Presented by:
Deang, Roxanne Joie V.
BSE II – Math Major

2. What is problem-solving?

3. Students are presented with problems
which require them to find either a scientific
or technological solution.
It is a student-centered strategy which
require students to become active
participants in the learning process.

4. Problem solving is a teaching
strategy that employs the scientific
method in searching for
information.

5. Five basic steps of
the scientific method

6. 1.Sensing and defining the
problem
2.Formulating hypothesis
3.Testing the likely hypothesis
4.Analysis, interpretation and
evaluation of evidence
5.Formulating conclusions

7. This approach is
used most often in
science and mathematics
classes. The students are
trained to be sensitive to
any puzzling situation or
to any difficult situation
that needs to be solved.
Having defined the
problem clearly, a
tentative solution is
solicited.

8. The closest scientific guess is then
pursued by undertaking an
appropriative investigative technique
such as performing an experiment or
gathering data through directed
observations. Finally they are led to
formulate conclusions.

9. ADVANTAGES

10. 1. This approach is most effective in
developing skill in employing the
science processes.
2. The scientific method can likewise be
used effectively in other non-science
subjects. It is a general procedure in
finding solutions to daily occurrences
that urgently need to be addressed.

11. 3. The student’s active involvement resulting
in meaningful experiences serves as a
strong motivation to follow the scientific
procedure in future undertakings.
4. Problem-solving develops higher level
thinking skills.
5. A keen sense of responsibility, originality
and resourcefulness are developed, which
are much-needed ingredients for
independent study.

12. 6. The students become appreciative and
grateful for the achievement of scientists.
7. Critical thinking, open-mindedness and
wise judgment are among scientific
attitudes and values inculcated through
competence in the scientific method.
8. The students learn to accept the opinions
and evidence shared by others.

13. Problem-solving
Skills

14. Clarify what the
problem is about
Brainstorm Clarify what the
out ideas problem is about
Plan out what
you are going to do
Try another Try out
YES
plan your plan
Does it solve
the problem?
NO

15. THAT’S
ALL
FOLKS…
