Steps in PBL
1. Determine whether a problem exists.2. Create an exact statement of the problem.3. Identify information needed to understand
the problem.4. Gather information and organize it.5. Generate possible solutions.6. Decide on a solution. 7. Present the solution.8. Reflect on & evaluate.

1. Determine whether a problem exists
• List what you know
• Look for…– Harm– Injustice– Waste– Unhappiness– …any deviations from the ideal

2. Create an exact statement of the problem
• What are the gaps between what exists and what should exist?

3. Identify information needed to understand the problem
• Facts
• Definitions
• History
• Players
• Experts
• Etc.

4. Gather information and organize it
• Wikipedia
• Library
• Newspapers

5. Generate possible solutions
• Quantity over quality at first
• Piggyback
• Think metaphorically
• Think positive

6. Decide on a solution
• Weigh and consider all choices
• Combine choices if needed
• Be able to justify your choice

7. Present the solution
Be…
• Organized
• Pithy
• Complete
• Persuasive

8. Reflect, evaluate, revise
• If you can implement the solution, do so and gather data on its effectiveness
• If implementation (by you) is not possible, return to your solution after some time and revisit it.

PMI Technique
• Make a list of aspects of the choice to be made.
• Mark each one as Plus, Minus or Interesting
• Total up the number of items in each column

Grid Analysis
• Create a table of important aspects of the decision (columns) and the things you’re choosing among (rows)
• Give a score for each choice for each aspect
• Weight the scores and calculate the sums.

Finding Problems to Learn from
• Start with outcomes
• Ask yourself: where is this skill or knowledge applied in the world?
• Find or fabricate a situation in which something is not optimal that requires that skill/knowledge.
