Visualisation & Problem-Solving Skills
Visualization
Visualization refers to the ability to create a mental image or a physical
representation of a problem, its
components, and the potential solutions. This helps in understanding the problem in
detail, seeing relations
between different elements and planning a course of actions.
Key Aspects
e Mental Imagery: Forming aclear mental picture of a problem, its processes, and
how changes might
affect it.
Mapping or Diagramming: Creating diagrams, flowcharts, or maps to visually
represent the problem
and its various elements. This can make complex issues more understandable and
manageable.
Predictive Visualization: Anticipating how changes or solutions will play out. This
involves mentally
simulating different scenarios and their outcomes.
Spatial Awareness: Understanding how elements within a problem are related in terms
of space and
structure, which can be crucial for solving physical or spatial problems.
Creativity: Using imagination not just to see what is, but what could be. This can
lead to more
innovative solutions.
