Introduction

The problem solving process consists of several coordinated steps, such as information collection, problem formulation, resources, objectives, policies, implementing the care and evaluation. There are no projects without problems, but handling them cannot be another problem. Before we start to find solutions and apply them to try to resolve the problem, we must carefully analyze what are the factors that have caused side effects that are undetectable at first sight, etc. (Rath, 2003, 461)

Present Problem Solving Process

STEP 1: Identify, specify and clarify the problem:

This first step is critical. It is important that each team member clearly understand the problem so that all power is concentrated in a direction. It is a way to identify problems, write a summary outlining the problem and then write you want to be when the problem was resolved. The goal is to get as much information about the problem.

STEP 2: Analyze the problem by collecting facts and information:

At this stage, the solution of the problem, questions must be asked and information gathered and sifted. Do not make the mistake of assuming you know what is causing the problem without any effort to understand the problem you have identified. Try looking at the problem from different perspectives, not just how it affects you. Think about what affects others. It is very important to spend some time studying the problem. Go to the library or to develop a survey to collect the necessary information (Rath , 2004, 613).

STEP 3: Develop alternative solutions:

Here, we must consider the strengths and weaknesses that each alternative may have in short and long term, both for ourselves and for others. To perform this step correctly, there is often not enough information. In this case, it is necessary to collect new data to help evaluate the different alternatives. For example, a person who wants to start playing sports, when evaluating the different alternatives, must gather enough data.

For each of the alternatives separately, we must list all the advantages and disadvantages that entails. Then give a score from 0 to 10 to every advantage and every problem in terms of its importance, considering that: 0 is "not important" and 10 means it is "essential or very important." Finally, once punctuated every advantage and every problem on this scale, there are the numbers given to all the advantages on one hand and all the other drawbacks. If the result is positive, it means that it is more advantageous or more important (D'Zurilla, 1971, 107).

STEP 4: Select the best solution:

Once you have thought about the alternatives available and the consequences of each of them, you must choose the most positive and appropriate. Once you have reviewed the various alternatives, you must compare them and choose the one that suits best. As a rule, one that has more advantages than disadvantages, or the alternative that has the highest positive number should be chosen (Lesgold, 1991, 287).

This step is in the process of selecting the best alternatives ...
