A. Background Information for Learners


In this lesson, you will be oriented with the skills needed to solve problems
effectively. Everyone has their own battles and challenges in life, but by developing
problem-solving skills, we can seek various solutions. This topic aims to enlighten
you about self-management that could help you to become independent, more
responsible, and problem-solvers.
This competency about problem-solving helps you deal more effectively with
stressors in your life. Problems that don't go away can take a toll on our well-being.
Left unsolved, a small problem can become a big problem. We end up feeling
frustrated, stressed or maybe even depressed and hopeless. But remember,
problem-solving may have a number of additional benefits, including:
• Better functioning at work or school
• More satisfying relationships with friends, family and co-workers
• Higher self-esteem
• Higher life satisfaction

B. Learning Competency with code


1. Express personal abilities in solving problems using lessons learned
through self-evaluation. (HGSPS-IIIg-8)

D. Exercises / Activities

D.1. INTRODUCTION
a. What I need to Know
At the end of the lesson, the learners will be able to:
1. recognize specific, measurable attainable, realistic and time
bounded solutions to problems;
2. enhance their abilities in solving problems; and
3. appreciate the value of knowing different problem-solving skills.

D.2 DEVELOPMENT

a. What’s In

Everybody can benefit from having good problem-solving skills as we all


encounter problems on a daily basis. Some of these problems are obviously more
severe or complex than others. It would be wonderful to have the ability to solve all
problems efficiently and in a timely fashion without difficulty, unfortunately though there
is no one way in which all problems can be solved. It can be a great way to solve
problems without heartache, from dealing with school or family problems to
figuring out next steps. The SMART principle may help you set goals: Specific,
Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-bounded.

ACTIVITY 1: SMART IS COOL!


Directions: Please identify and write on the blank if the given statement applies
SMART principle in problem-solving.

___ 1. Trina got a low grade in General Mathematics so she allotted a 2-hour study
and review time each day for this subject and asked assistance from her
teacher.
___ 2. Andrew is always late in coming to his workplace so she sets alarm in the
morning. However, he spends until dawn browsing the social media.
___ 3. A Grade 11 student always complain of not having enough time in workloads of
modules so he divided his time, allotting different portion for each routine
activities and couldn’t resist allotting ample time for playing online games.

___ 4. The Reyes family pays a huge amount of electricity bill each month. The mother
is so determined to lower their energy bill next month so she opted using electric
fans during daytime rather than air conditioners and stopped using dryer in
washing their clothes.
___ 5. Sarah is afraid to be infected with COVID-19 virus but goes out frequently and
forgets to wear masks at times.

b. What is It?

In our everyday life, problems can crop up. Even if we don’t know how to fix the
problem at first, we can think about how the problem happened in the first place. Then
we can keep calm and use logic to find some good solutions. This logical way of
looking at things with a clear head is called problem-solving.

How to Enhance Your Problem Solving-Skills?


Most people believe that you have to be very intelligent in order to be a good
problem solver, but that’s not true. You don’t have to be super smart to be a problem
solver, you just need practice. Problem-solving is considered a soft skill (a personal
strength) rather than a hard skill that's learned through education or training.
When you understand the different steps to solve a problem, you’ll be able to come
up with great solutions.

There are five steps typically used in problem-solving.


1. Analyze Contributing Factors
To solve a problem, you must find out what caused it. This requires you to gather
and evaluate data, isolate possible contributing circumstances, and pinpoint what
needs to be addressed for a resolution.
To do this, you'll use skills like:
• Data gathering • Fact-finding
• Data analysis • Historical analysis

2. Generate Interventions
Once you’ve determined the cause, brainstorm possible solutions. Sometimes this
involves teamwork since two (or more) minds are often better than one. A single
strategy is rarely the obvious route to solving a complex problem; devising a set of
alternatives helps you cover your bases and reduces your risk of exposure should the
first strategy you implement fail.

This involves skills like:


• Brainstorming • Forecasting
• Creative thinking • Project design
• Prediction • Project planning

3. Evaluate Solutions
Depending on the nature of the problem and your chain of command,
evaluating best solutions may be performed by assigned teams, team leads, or
forwarded to corporate decision-makers. Whoever makes the decision must evaluate
potential costs, required resources, and possible barriers to successful solution
implementation.
This requires several skills, including:
• Analysis • Test development
• Discussion • Mediation
• Corroboration • Prioritizing
• Teamwork

4. Implement a Plan
Once a course of action has been decided, it must be implemented along with
benchmarks that can quickly and accurately determine whether it’s working. Plan
implementation also involves letting personnel know about changes in standard
operating procedures.
This requires skills like:
• Project management • Time management
• Project implementation • Benchmark development
• Collaboration
5. Assess the Solution's Effectiveness
Once a solution is implemented, the best problem-solvers have systems in place
to evaluate if and how quickly it's working. This way, they know as soon as possible
whether the issue has been resolved or whether they’ll have to change their response
to the problem mid-stream.
This requires: • Customer feedback
• Communication • Follow-through
• Data analysis • Troubleshooting
• Surveys
