Answer 12

Understand usefulness as well as dangers of the animal and plant worlds

Question 13

Problem Solving

Answer 13

Entails finding effective solutions to problems.

Follows systematic and analytical process

Question 14

Steps in problem solving process

Answer 14

1. Acknowledge that a situation requires problem-solving rather than denying that a problem exists and persisting with ineffective actions.
2. Define and clarify the problem
3. Generate or find alternative solutions by utilising problem-solving strategies.
4. Consider the implications, advantages, disadvantages and risks involved in each alternative solution.
5. Decide by choosing the alternatives with the best projected outcomes.
6. Implement the decision.
7. Reflect on the outcome of the solution as well as the decision-making process followed.

Question 15

Problem-solving strategies

Answer 15

-Trial-and-error
-Algorithms
-Analogy
-Changing the representation
-Heuristics

Question 16

Heuristics

Answer 16

Are short cut, best guess solutions to problems in which only the options most likely to produce a solution are considered

Question 17

Changing the representation

Answer 17

Allows for clarification of essential aspects

Visual images in drawings or graphs may be more effective than verbal presentations

Question 18

Analogy

Answer 18

A person uses a solution to an earlier problem to help solve a new one

Question 19

Algorithms

Answer 19

using a process or procedure that will produce a solution to a problem sooner or later

Following a fixed agenda at a meeting is an example of an algorithm

Question 20

Trial-and-error

Answer 20

-Random, haphazard & time-consuming searches for solutions

-Experimenting with different solutions until one that works is found

-Used when solutions are not readily apparent

Question 21

Types of heuristics

Answer 21

*Anchoring and adjustment

*Availability

*Representativeness

Question 22

Representativeness

Answer 22

Perceiving a new situation as similar to a previous situation

E.g. HR manager’s recruitment tactic of headhunting
