Problem Solving SkillsBuilder Skills

Problem Solving:

This skill focuses on how to solve problems, recognising that while part of Problem Solving is technical know-how and experience, there are also transferable tools that individuals can develop and use. The first steps (steps 0 – 3) focus on being able to follow instructions to complete tasks, seeking help and extra information if needed. At SkillsBuilder intermediate level (steps 4-8) the focuses is on being able to explore problems by creating and assessing different potential solutions. This includes more complex problems, without a simple technical solution. We hope to help students to achieve this by encouraging them to tackling real-world scenarios and challenges collaboratively.
