Choose alternative and implement

Which step in the Problem Solving Model picks one of the alternatives/strategies and develops the plan to implement it? This is when you put your idea into action.

Choose alternative and implement

What is the belief that well-reasoned thinking will lead to trustworthy conclusions?

Confidence

The levels of Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning are [lowest level to highest]: Remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, __________

Create

Which step in the Problem Solving Model chooses from among the various ideas, the course of action that will provide the greatest chance for success? Consider the short and long-term effects of each idea.

Create Possible Alternatives

The five steps of problem solving are: 1. Identify the problem. 2. Gather information/brainstorm 3. __________ 4. Choose alternative and implement 5. Evaluate to see if the problem was solved; repeat if necessary.

Create possible alternatives

What is it when the mind is filled with questions?

Creative Thinking and Curiosity

What type of thinking is the ability to analyze and evaluate concepts and situations in order to understand the fundamental principles and determine a proper response? The ability to determine the actual truth behind statements and not just accept what is being presented.

Critical Thinking

What is facts and proven knowledge?

Declarative Knowledge

What type of thinking is reasoning from a general premise to a specific conclusion? An example of this type of thinking is: Premise: Patients with advanced lung disease will experience shortness of breath on exertion. Premise: Bob has advanced lung disease and is trying to help his daughter move. Conclusion: Bob will experience shortness of breath while helping his daughter move.

Deductive Reasoning

Which step in the Problem Solving Model clearly states what the opportunity for positive change can be? How the problem is stated greatly influences the rest of the process.

Define the Problem

The levels of Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning are [lowest level to highest]: Remember, understand, apply, analyze, __________, create

Evaluate

Which step in the Problem Solving Model evaluates the impact of your idea and modify it accordingly? Did the problem get better or even resolved, did it stay the same, or get worse? Get feedback from as many sources as possible to determine whether your idea is having a positive impact. If the goal is clearly stated, it is easy to see if a goal is being met.

Evaluate and Revise

The five steps of problem solving are: 1. Identify the problem. 2. Gather information/brainstorm 3. Create possible alternatives 4. Choose alternative and implement 5. __________

Evaluate to see if the problem was solved; repeat if necessary.

What is a truth verified through actual experience or confirmed through observation; proven to be true?

Fact

What is assessing all viewpoints with the same standards and do not base your judgments on personal or group bias or prejudice?

Fair-Minded

What are stories that are presented as true that are probably false?

Fake News

What is the use of faulty reasoning but still believing something to be true and fact based?

Fallacy

What is assuming there is a causal relationship even though there is not factual evidence to support it?

False Cause

Which step in the Problem Solving Model will help you in developing strategies to hopefully solve the problem? Brainstorm solutions, review assessment information to find patterns and potential problems, seek outside help.

Gather Information

The five steps of problem solving are: 1. Identify the problem. 2. __________ 3. Create possible alternatives 4. Choose alternative and implement 5. Evaluate to see if the problem was solved; repeat if necessary.

Gather information/brainstorm

The Critical Thinking Model steps are: 1. Initial Position 2. Research 3. __________ 4. Restate position

Identify Biases

You do this to put more value on some facts instead of others.

Identify Biases

The five steps of problem solving are: 1. __________ 2. Gather information/brainstorm 3. Create possible alternatives 4. Choose alternative and implement 5. Evaluate to see if the problem was solved; repeat if necessary.

Identify the problem

What requires that individuals think for themselves? You are not easily swayed by the opinions of others, but take responsibility for your own views.

Independence

What is it called when generalizations are formed from a set of facts or observations? When viewed together, certain bits of information suggest a particular interpretation. It moves from specific premises to a generalized conclusion.

Inductive Reasoning

The Critical Thinking Model steps are: 1. __________ 2. Research 3. Identify biases 4. Restate position

Initial Position

What is given a particular topic, stating your initial thoughts on the topic and identifying what contributed to your position?

Initial Position

What is applying the same rigorous standards of proof to their own knowledge and beliefs as they apply to the knowledge and beliefs of others?

Integrity

What is having an awareness of the limits of your own knowledge.

Intellectual Humility

Which problem solving approach involves the understanding of things without the conscious use of reasoning? It is also known as sixth sense, hunch, instinct, feeling, or suspicion. It can be seen as an essential and legitimate aspect of judgment acquired through knowledge and experience.

Intuition

What type of thinking is the ability to reason in a given situation? You are cold. You figure out a safe way to get warm.

Logic

What is forming a view about something that is not necessarily based on fact or knowledge; holding a belief that certain facts or ideas are probably true even if facts are not in evidence?

Opinion

What is finding effective solutions to problems. Determination to clarify concepts and sort out related issues in spite of difficulties and frustrations?

Perseverance

What is thinking ahead?

Proactive Thinking

What is it called if you wait for the problem to occur and then react?

Reactive Thinking

The levels of Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning are [lowest level to highest]: __________, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, create

Remember

The Critical Thinking Model steps are: 1. Initial Position 2. ____________ 3. Identify biases 4. Restate position

Research

What is research FACTS that support and ones that oppose your position.Every topic has two sides. FACTS are found that both support and oppose?

Research

The Critical Thinking Model steps are: 1. Initial Position 2. Research 3. Identify biases 4. __________

Restate Position

Which problem solving approach involves a formalized, logical, systematic approach to solving problems? The scientific method is most useful when the researcher is working in a controlled situation. This method is used to move forward each profession's base of knowledge and expand the treatments and options available.

Scientific Method

Which problem solving approach involves trying a number of approaches until a solution is found? Can be dangerous in healthcare as the client may suffer harm if an approach is inappropriate.
