Problem Solving Interviews (Routledge Revivals)
by W. E. BeveridgeFirst published in 1968, Problem Solving Interviews explores different elements relating to conversations concerned with finding a solution to a particular problem. The book begins first by examining the role of the problem-solving interviewer, before exploring in detail what an interview is. It looks at the significance of different attitudes in shaping behaviour and highlights the importance of considering the attitudes of both the interviewer and the respondent. This leads on to a consideration of bias, including where it comes from, how it can affect the interview, and whether its impact can be eliminated or reduced. The book also covers carrying out and learning how to interview, and includes close analysis of three example interviews.

Problem-solving K-2
by Hyacinth Dorleon Karen Morrison Rodney JulienWe live in an increasingly technological and information-rich world. Education is focusing more on enquiry and skills-based approaches. Students, even at the early levels of schooling, are expected to develop a range of skills, including problem solving skills. Creative thinking and problem solving are not only important elements in the curriculum but they are also crucial in daily life. Students need to learn basic mathematical skills, but they also have to be able to apply these in unfamiliar contexts, communicate their thinking and explain how they got to their solutions. This book is easy for parents and teachers to use, and teaches multiple strategies for solving problems, using challenging but supportive contexts. The approach is underpinned by the Five E's approach to learning. The course will help student to: · Engage with problems meaningfully · Explore different options for approaching and solving problems· Explain how they are thinking· Elaborate on their working and processes and see connections between different areas of mathematics· Evaluate what worked and what didn't, learning from mistakes as well as successes.
Problem Solving nelle organizzazioni: Piccola antologia filosofica per managers e project managers
by Roberto ChiappiE' opinione diffusa che sia la filosofia che la matematica non abbiano una immediata utilità pratica. In questo libro si mostra invece che molti metodi di risoluzione dei problemi delle organizzazioni (aziendali e non) si fondano su premesse attinte, anche inconsapevolmente proprio dalla filosofia, dalla matematica, ma anche da nuclei di pensiero sistemico ben visibili in filosofi ante litteram. Gli esempi sono numerosissimi e attraversano l’intera storia della cultura umana. Si pensi ad esempio alle Proporzioni di Talete, alla Distanza di Pitagora, alla Logica di Aristotele, ai discorsi sul Metodo di Cartesio, ai Grafi di Eulero, ai Giudizi di Kant, alla teoria degli Errori di Gauss, al Problem solving di Popper, ecc. Questa rapida mappatura della genealogia filosofica e matematica dei metodi di risoluzione dei problemi organizzativi mostra la centralità della visione sistemica e del lavoro di gruppo ribaditi dall’autore, anche con alcune esemplificazioni, nella conclusione del volume. Rivolto a tutti coloro che lavorano nelle organizzazioni (manager e professional) e agli studenti che si preparano ad accedervi.
Problem-Solving Parent Conferences in Schools: Ecological-Behavioral Perspectives (Consultation, Supervision, and Professional Learning in School Psychology Series)
by Dennis J. SimonProblem-Solving Parent Conferences in Schools presents a Problem-solving Parent Conference (PPC) model that integrates and applies empirically-supported systemic and behavioral intervention strategies to coordinated home-school interventions for student behavioral and social-emotional concerns. Though today’s schools seek to further understand student behaviors from ecological and systemic perspectives, there are limited resources available on how to effectively collaborate with families—a key social-environmental context. This unique book engages parents and teachers in a five-stage protocol towards more effective student support. These evidence-based, change-oriented approaches will be essential for graduate students in school psychology, school social work, and school counseling programs; in teacher preparation; and in any related course focused on parents and families in school settings. Its resources are also critical for mental health practitioners who work with children, adolescents, families, and schools.

Problem Solving (PDF)
by S. Ian RobertsonProblem solving is an integral part of everyday life yet few books are dedicated to this important aspect of human cognition. In each case, the problem, such as solving a crossword or writing an essay, has a goal. In this comprehensive and timely textbook, the author discusses the psychological processes underlying such goal-directed problem solving, and examines both how we learn from experience of problem solving and how our learning transfers (or often fails to transfer) from one situation to another. Following initial coverage of the methods we use to solve unfamiliar problems, the book goes on to examine the psychological processes involved in novice problem solving before progressing to the methods and processes used by skilled problem solvers or "experts". Topics covered include: how we generate a useful representation of a problem as a starting point; general problem solving strategies we use in unfamiliar situations; possible processes involved in insight or lateral thinking; the nature of problem similarity and the role of analogies in problem solving; understanding and learning from textbooks; and how we develop expertise through the learning of specific problem solving skills. Clear, up-to-date and accessible, Problem Solvingwill be of interest to undergraduates and postgraduates in cognitive psychology, cognitive science, and educational psychology. The focus on the practical transfer of learning through problem solving will also make it of relevance to educationalists and business psychologists. 9780203457955 9781134631018 9780415203005

Problem-Solving Sociology: A Guide for Students
by Monica PrasadA broad resource that offers tools for how to conduct problem-solving sociology in order to deepen and reformulate our understanding of society. Most students arrive in graduate sociology programs eager to engage with the pressing social and political issues of the day. Yet that initial enthusiasm does not always survive the professional socialization of graduate school. In Problem-Solving Sociology, Monica Prasad shows graduate students and early career sociologists how to conduct research that uses sociological theory to help solve real-world problems, and how to use problem-solving to improve sociological theory. Prasad discusses how to be objective when examining issues of injustice and oppression, and provides methodological strategies and plenty of exercises for research aimed at creating change. She gives examples throughout of problem-solving research conducted at all levels, from undergraduate theses to the major figures of the discipline. She also considers how to respond to some common objections; where problem-solving fits into the landscape of sociological practice; and how to build a life in problem-solving.

The Problem with Education Technology (Hint: It's Not the Technology)
by Ben Fink Robin BrownEducation is in crisis—at least, so we hear. And at the center of this crisis is technology. New technologies like computer-based classroom instruction, online K–12 schools, MOOCs (massive open online courses), and automated essay scoring may be our last great hope—or the greatest threat we have ever faced. In The Problem with Education Technology, Ben Fink and Robin Brown look behind the hype to explain the problems—and potential—of these technologies. Focusing on the case of automated essay scoring, they explain the technology, how it works, and what it does and doesn’t do. They explain its origins, its evolution (both in the classroom and in our culture), and the controversy that surrounds it. Most significantly, they expose the real problem—the complicity of teachers and curriculum-builders in creating an education system so mechanical that machines can in fact often replace humans—and how teachers, students, and other citizens can work together to solve it. Offering a new perspective on the change that educators can hope, organize, and lobby for, The Problem with Education Technology challenges teachers and activists on “our side,” even as it provides new evidence to counter the profit-making, labor-saving logics that drive the current push for technology in the classroom.

Problematising Young People: A Critical Ethnographic Investigation of ADHD
by Charles MarleyRather than being evidence-based, the 'everyday' practice of ADHD health care enacted daily by a multitude of professionals is the result of the interaction of historical, social, political, economic and institutional elements. By drawing on several critical theorists, this book provides an ethnographic investigation of the nexus of elements that conditioned the possibility for the everyday social practice of ADHD to be in place within an NHS region in Scotland. The book develops a critical analytical approach, using the concepts of 'problematisation' and the 'apparatus' to capture a two-stage process - the questioning of how and why certain 'things' become a problem, but also how these 'things' are shaped as the objects that they become. The object of interest for this project was young people and the fieldwork was conducted in a small geographical region in Scotland, consisting of several periods in health and education services. Ethnographic tools utilised in the book include observation of clinical appointments, document analysis, interviews and archival research. The different layers of qualitative material examined in the study - from individual clinical appointment to national policy - have allowed for a reconnection of the discursive field in which the current practice of ADHD emerged. With a detailed theorisation of the theoretical concepts, as well as a clear account of application in empirical research, this book will act as a guide for researchers aiming to apply these concepts in applied research.
