Take a few moments to write the basic information about your problem here.

2. Assignment Title: Problem Analysis and Solution

Assignment Description: In this assignment, you will conduct a problem analysis and propose a solution
for a situation or challenge faced in the educational or everyday life context. You will use the problem-
solving approach you have learned to identify the root cause of the problem, evaluate potential solution
options, and formulate a concrete action plan.

Assignment Steps:

1. Problem Identification:

 Select one relevant problem or challenge in the educational or everyday life context.

 Briefly describe the problem and explain why it is a problem that needs to be solved.

2. Root Cause Analysis:

 Use problem analysis techniques you have learned (such as the 5W+1H analysis or
fishbone diagram) to identify the root cause of the problem.

 Review all factors contributing to the problem and analyze how these factors are
interconnected.

3. Evaluation of Solution Options:

 Propose at least three different solution options to address the identified problem.

 Review the pros and cons of each solution option.

4. Selection of Best Solution:

 Choose one solution option that you believe is most effective and efficient in addressing
the problem.

 Explain why you chose this solution and how it will address the root cause of the
problem.

5. Action Plan:

 Develop a detailed action plan to implement the selected solution.

  Identify specific steps to be taken, who is responsible for each step, and the timeline for
implementation.

6. Presentation of Assignment:

 Create a brief presentation to communicate the problem analysis results, the selected
solution, and the proposed action plan.

 Present your assignment orally in class and be prepared to answer questions from the
instructor and classmates.

Assignment Deadline: This assignment must be submitted within two weeks of being assigned.

Assessment: The assignment will be evaluated based on your ability to:

 Identify and analyze the root cause of the problem accurately.

 Evaluate solution options thoroughly and select the best solution.

 Formulate a concrete and detailed action plan.

 Quality of presentation and oral communication skills.

Important Notes: Be sure to present your assignment clearly and include relevant references if needed.
