Group Discussion Section 2
9
* Put your shield up * Act like a coffee filter * Pretend you’re Sherlock Holmes * Say, “you’re right”
10
* You must understand the problem first. * Ask your group, “How did the problem come about? And why does it need to be solved?” * Limit objectives in order to find a specific solution to a specific problem. * See scenario in book
11
* After defining the problem, the group should decide on criteria, or set of standards that its solution must meet. * See school dance fundraiser example
12
* Choose a certain problem at school * Define the problem (use listening, summarizing, & paraphrasing skills) * Establish criteria for a workable solution that will appease those who support either side of the issue. * Make sure it’s balanced.
13
* Break the problem down into small pieces for closer inspection. * Look at current condition * Look at past occurrences for clues
14
* Propose as many solutions as possible * Brainstorming: when a group tries to bombard the problem with fresh ideas.
15
* Consider your options * If 2 or 3 solutions seem equally good, the group should turn back to their criteria & make careful comparison. * Does each solution meet the standards from step 2? If not, the solution should be changed or eliminated.
16
* Group members must make sure their solution is practical.
17
* Complete steps 3-6 with the current problem you have identified, using the criteria you created from step 2 of the problem solving process.
