Problem Solving Method - Dbag

The document discusses the problem solving method, which employs the scientific method of collecting information through observation and asking questions. The scientific method involves formulating a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis through experiments, analyzing and interpreting the results, and communicating the findings. Using this problem solving approach has several advantages, such as developing higher-level thinking skills, responsibility, and an appreciation for scientific achievements. Teachers should provide guidance to students throughout the problem solving process and focus on developing skills and positive attitudes rather than just results or knowledge.
