4. Problem identification
Building on patterns identified, students
are guided to identify a problem or issue that
requires resolution.
5. Generate and Evaluate Solutions
Students are encourage to generate various
potential solutions to identified problem. They
will think various approaches to evaluate the
effectiveness of each one to select the best course
of action.
6. Organize Steps and formulate conclusions
This is the final step that will complete the
task or solve the problem. They critically analyze
the information gathered, think about logical
conclusions, and formulate a hypothesis or
generalization based on their findings.
