I&E
Our focus: CP4I
Differences between Challenges and Problem -- Challenges are broad, while Problems are specific and focused.
We should be looking at problems that others think that is is not a problem.
See problems as to as an obstacle, but as a challenge
…So, we do not want to phrase the problem as a sentence/statement, but as a question.
eg.
In exams:
"whoa I have to remember all these things." vs. " I will score this well, and show that I can apply what I learn."
Discussion:
How do we keep smokers 5 meters away from the bus stop?
examples given by S1-04:
Attach smoke detectors
Use chairs that pushes you off when it detects smoke
Put the ash tray 5 meters away from the bus stop. however, people would not walk as far to throw their cigarette buds away. They might just throw it on the ground.
PROBLEM STATEMENTS:
IWWMW… (in what ways might we)
HCW… (how can we)
HMW… (how might we)
Characteristics of Problem statements:
Question form -a good problem poses a question rather then making a statement.
Invites ideas- a good problem statement invites you to generate many rich ideas
Free of limiting criteria- It should not box you in or limit your thinking by being filled with limitations, restrictions, qualifications or criteria
Concisely states- it should be brief and to the point so it will be easily understood and readily used as a starting point for generating ideas.
CHALLENGE STATEMENTS:
Wouldn't it be great if…
wouldn't it be nice if…
CP14:
The criteria for Selection of Challenge, Problems, Task and Possibilities:
Food for thought..
"there are no problems, only challenges"
...do you agree?
BTW… Remember to complete the handout.
