The document discusses problem solving and decision making. It describes common problems students face like debugging programs or dealing with difficult customers. It presents the IDEAL model for problem solving - identify, define, examine, act, and look. Key skills for problem solving are analytical thinking, logical approaches, creativity, teamwork, and communication. Popular techniques include brainstorming, S.W.O.T. analysis, and defining the problem, examining options, making a decision, implementing it, and reviewing results.

Making decisions and solving problems happen every day. There’s no way to avoid it. From the decision to rise in the morning to the decision go to bed at night, decisions are constantly being made; and, together with that, problems are frequently being solved. Often, the problems and decisions we are confronted with require a response that is both rational and well thought out. However, despite making decisions daily, many of us are still uncomfortable with making those important decisions.
Thankfully, our “Effective Problem Solving and Decision Making” training program can provide participants with the necessary skills in identifying problem causes, laying out options and making rational decisions. In this highly dynamic program, participants will learn about the problem solving and decision making process and structure, while being provided with tools to help them attack problems proactively and make timely decisions that help create value to your company and your customers. Participants will also utilize a five-step problem solving process in solving actual problems.
Furthermore, participant will discover that the same processes and tools they will use in this fun-filled training program can also be used to solve life problems and make life decisions. “Effective Problem Solving and Decision Making” are not just career skills; they’re life skills.

The Collaboratory: Problem-Solving in the Learning EnvironmentGreg Louviere
This session focuses on the interjection of problem-solving into the learning environment, establishing the Collaboratory as an engine for creative decision-making within a collaborative setting. Of the numerous problem-solving methods available, this presentation examines solution-based "design thinking" in the learning context. Through research and case studies, the presentation will delve into the spatial features that successfully foster a problem-solving learning environment. In recent years, many institutions have created Colaboratories, including the Mayo Clinic, Harvard Innovation Lab, and Stanford d:school. The purpose of which is to investigate problems such as climate change, health care, sustainability, economic globalization, learning equity, business growth and entrepreneurship. This presentation will explain the reasons why the problem-solving environment of a Collaboratory can become a learning opportunity in Higher-Education and K-12 applications and, the reason for its proliferation among corporations, organizations and institutions.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. PROBLEM-SOLVING AND DECISION-MAKING
We all solve problems on a daily basis, in academic situations, at work and in our day-to-day lives.
Some of the problems that are typically faced by students include:
Debugging a computer program
Dealing with an awkward customer when working part-time in a shop or restaurant
Thinking about how you are going to manage your budget to keep you going until the end of
term
Working out why your printer won’t respond
Developing a strategy to reach the next level of a computer game.

3. What is the secret of success?
Right decisions.
How do you make right decisions?
Experience
How do you gain experience?
Wrong decisions
4. Problems can also be opportunities: they allow you to see things differently and
to do things in a different way: perhaps to make a fresh start.
5. IDEAL
• Whatever issue you are faced with, some steps are fundamental: identify-define-
examine-act-look-.
IDEAL
Identify the problem
Define the problem
Examine the options
Act on a plan
Look at the consequences
This is the IDEAL model of problem-solving.
6. SKILLS
Solving these problems involves both analytical and creative skills. Which particular
skills are needed will vary, depending on the problem and your role in the
organisation, but the following skills are key to problem-solving.
7. SKILL FOR PROBLEM SOLVING
Analytical and critical thinking skills help you to evaluate the problem and to make
decisions.
A logical and methodical approach is best in some circumstances: for example, you will
need to be able to draw on your academic or subject knowledge to identify solutions of a
practical or technical nature.
In other situations, using creativity or lateral thinking will be necessary to come up with
ideas for resolving the problem and find fresh approaches.
Not everyone has these two types of skills in equal measure: for this reason, team working
is often a key component in problem-solving.
Further skills, such as communication, persuasion and negotiation, are important in finding
solutions to problems involving people.
8. DEVELOPING YOUR ANALYTICAL AND PROBLEM-
SOLVING SKILLS
Most problem-solving skills are developed through everyday life and experience. However, the
following interests and activities may be useful in demonstrating a high level of these skills - this may
be particularly important when applying to employers in areas such as engineering, IT, operational
research and some areas of finance.
‘Mind games’ such as cryptic crosswords, Sudoku, chess, bridge, etc;
Computer games – the best of these can involve strategic planning, critical and statistical analysis
and assessing the pros and cons of different courses of action;
‘Practical’ interests such as programming, computer repairs, car maintenance, or DIY;
Working with sound or lighting equipment for a band, event or show;
Academic study: evaluating different sources of information for essays, designing and constructing
a ‘microshelter’ for an architecture project; setting up a lab experiment.
10. EVALUATING THE PROBLEM
Clarifying the nature of a problem
Formulating questions
Gathering information systematically
Collating and organizing data
Condensing and summarizing information
Defining the desired objective
11. MANAGING THE PROBLEM
Using the information gathered effectively
Breaking down a problem into smaller, more manageable, parts
Using techniques such as brainstorming and lateral thinking to consider options
Analysing these options in greater depth
Identifying steps that can be taken to achieve the objective
12. DECISION-MAKING
Deciding between the possible options for what action to take
Deciding on further information to be gathered before taking action
Deciding on resources (time, funding, staff etc) to be allocated to this problem
13. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Implementing action
Providing information to other stakeholders; delegating tasks
Reviewing progress
14. EVALUATE THE OPTIONS
What are the pluses and minuses? Honestly!
Separate the evaluation of options from the selection of options
15. EXAMINING THE RESULTS
Monitoring the outcome of the action taken
Reviewing the problem and problem-solving process to avoid similar situations
in future.
16. SELECT AN OPTION OR OPTIONS
What's the best option, in the balance?
Is there a way to "bundle" a number of options together for a more satisfactory
solution?
17. DOCUMENT THE AGREEMENT(S).
Don't rely on memory.
Writing it down will help you think through all the details and implications.
18. AGREE ON CONTINGENCIES,
MONITORING, AND EVALUATION.
Conditions may change. Make contingency agreements about foreseeable future
circumstances (If-then!).
How will you monitor compliance and follow-through?
Create opportunities to evaluate the agreements and their implementation. ("Let's
try it this way for three months and then look at it.")

PLAN
STUDY
DOACT
The Deming Cycle or PDSA Cycle
Plan a change to the process. Predict the effect this
change will have and plan how the effects will be
measured
Implement the change on a small
scale and measure the effects
Adopt the change as a
permanent modification to the
process, or abandon it.
Study the results to learn what
effect the change had, if any.
20. CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING PROCESS
20
In 1953, Alex Osborn [of the ad agency BBDO]
wrote a book titled “Applied Imagination:
Principles and Procedures of Creative Problem-
Solving.” This book was one of the first to write
about how brainstorming and creative problem-
solving could be applied as a structured process.
21. PROBLEM SOLVING TECHNIQUES
Read the questions in this problem solving
technique then follow these 4 steps:
Answer the questions in the first column.
These summarize the present process
method, asking: what; how; when; where;
and who.
Challenge each of your answers by asking
“why?”
Use column three to help you generate a
range of improvement options.
Use column four to help you decide on the
best option.
22. Barriers to Problem Solving
Failure to recognize the problem- not sure what the problem is
Conceiving the problem too narrowly, not sure what is happening
Making a hasty choice, not sure what you want
Failure to consider all consequences, not enough resources
Failure to consider the feasibility of the solution
Failure to know to communicate what is possible
Failure to define what YOU did that was responsible for your success
24. BRAINSTORMING
