Which of the following is NOT an effective way to facilitate problem solving skills among students?

Option 4 : Emphasize one use of predetermined step by step procedure for every problem.

Problem-solving skills help students determine the source of a problem and find an effective solution. These are skills that help students identify and solve problems effectively and efficiently. 

• Problem-solving is a process of overcoming difficulties that appear to interfere with the attainment of a goal. So, a teacher should develop problem-solving skills in students.

Here is some effective way to improve problem-solving skills: 

• Break down problems into chunks.
• Ask them to find every possible solution to a problem.
• Give students small problems related to their daily life.  
• Encourage students to brainstorm and generate ideas to solve problems
• Facilitate discussion on the topics and encourage students to participation
• Provide students with a variety of learning materials to find solutions to the problem

Hint

• Emphasizing one use of the predetermined step-by-step procedure for every problem would not help in problem-solving because while problem we have to think on every aspect and various methods. 

Hence, we can conclude that emphasizing the use of a predetermined step-by-step procedure for every problem is NOT an effective way to facilitate problem-solving skills among students.
