(2007) National Institute Of Education. Problem Encounter At this stage, your aims are to have a clear understanding of the scenario and to reach a group consensus on the problem statement. Instructions for Teacher Candidates: Individual Work: Read through the scenario. Underline key words and highlight all significant and important information. Group Discussion (I): To make sure that all group members have the same understanding of the scenario, talk about it as a group. Give every group member a chance to describe the scenario in his/her own words + link it to his/her own experience + prior knowledge. Questions that can guide your group discussions are - What are your thoughts on this scenario? - What comes to mind? - What do we know? - What are the statement of facts we can identify?

Problem Encounter Instructions for Students: Deliverables (I): To document the outcome of your discussion, you can include one or more of the following in your portfolio: - Notes of discussionNotes of discussion - Mind mapsMind maps - Journal of problem inquiryJournal of problem inquiry Group Discussion (II): When the group has a clear understanding of the scenario, you will have to reach a consensus on the problem statement. Questions that can help you summarise the problems are - What is the nature of the problem? - Can you restate what the group discussed? - Does the group have the same mental picture of …? Deliverables (II): You will have to include your group’s problem statement in your portfolio: - Problem statement Problem statement

(2007) National Institute Of Education. Problem Encounter Problem Statement To develop the problem statement, the group has to reach a consensus on the nature of the problem and the group’s commitment to finding out plausible solutions. An example of a problem statement - ‘As beginning teachers, it is important to know how children acquire concepts’.

(2007) National Institute Of Education. Problem Analysis At this stage, your aims are to brainstorm and generate possible explanations or hypotheses about the problem, and to formulate learning objectives. Instructions for Students: Individual: Generate possible explanations and/or hypotheses to the problems posed by the scenario. Group: Compile a list of possible explanations and/or hypotheses from team members. Questions that can help you generate ideas are: - What additional information might we need? - What do we need to know? - Could you think of anything else? - What does that link you to? - Have you considered all the possible explanations?

(2007) National Institute Of Education. Problem Analysis Instructions for Teacher Candidates: Group (continue): Identify learning issues and formulate learning objectives. Questions that can help you formulate the learning issues are: - What is important for you to solve the problem? - Have you listed all the key questions? - What make you include …? - What kind of resources might be helpful? Assign self-directed learning to each member of the group. Deliverables: You should include the following in your portfolio: - List of explanations, ideas and/or hypothesesList of explanations, ideas and/or hypotheses - Statements of learning issuesStatements of learning issues - KND chartKND chart - Pointers and notes for sharing and teachingPointers and notes for sharing and teaching

(2007) National Institute Of Education. Problem Analysis Pointers and Notes for Sharing -Every member should be assigned a self-directed learning task. The self-directed learning involves identifying sources of information, and researching with a view of offering an informed explanation for the problem, and teaching peers on the topic of the study. -Each individual member has to compile a set of pointers and notes from his or her assigned self-directed learning. The notes are to be used for sharing and teaching of other group members in the next stage. -Each member should type out his or her notes in a word document and then insert the file as an object onto this slide (create from file). Please indicate clearly the team member responsible for the set of notes. You can do that by changing the file name of the document (select ‘display as icon’ and change the caption of the icon to the name of the team member). JAMAL

(2007) National Institute Of Education. Discovery & Reporting At this stage, your aim is to share what you have discovered during your self-directed research. Instructions for Students: Individual: Complete your self-directed learning before the meeting and then report on what you have learned to the other members of your group. Teach your group on what’s learnt. Group: Integrate and consolidate information as a group. Help each other to ensure the accuracy, reliability and validity of the information obtained. Questions that can guide your discussions are : - Describe what you have learnt about... - Explain what you understand by... - How do you know? - Could you elaborate on...? - How would you connect what you learnt to...?
