Define
This step will see participants define their problem by outlining which aspects of their topic will be investigated. By creatively analysing and defining a problem, you can broaden your understanding and creative potential. When defining a problem, it is crucial to exercise the following skills.
1. Rephrase Restating or rephrasing a problem allows you to think from different perspectives and break away from presumptions. This can lead to more versatile solutions – often for multiple problems- and reveal issues about a problem that may not be obvious. Be restating the same problem to focus on the transition between primary and high school, more complex issues could be discovered and addressed rather than simply adding extra activities into the curriculum. By restating a problem in a variety of ways, we can also hear unique perspectives from others. 2. Share Sharing with others can help learners understand how a problem may have originated. It also challenges learners to consider an issue in different ways and challenge their assumptions. How did a problem originate? What is right and true in the context of my topic? Asking questions and sharing understandings are a great way at improving understanding. 3. Finding out Researching and collation of facts and figures provides opportunity for gathering useful research and data analysis. This process helps remove bias and offers a more straightforward outline of a problem. Throughout the finding out process, learners are also given time to understand why finding a solution to the problem is important. You might also discover surprising things about your problem then when you started. More details can be found here. Explore your chosen UN goal target and how it relates to your community.
