The problem with problem solving

Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing, 1998
Although managers will always be responsible for solving problems on a daily basis, expert problem solving will not ensure survival for an organization. It will be more effective in the long run to find out what structural issues support the problems and work toward restructuring.

Problems Are for Solving

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1972
Among the problems that beset the medical profession, I shall consider the following: The number of doctors—in many areas, no doctor. The supply of family physicians—only 22% of doctors are generalists, mostly in older age groups. Maldistribution—even the rural rich and many affluent neighborhoods face scarcities.

Depression, Problem-Solving Ability, and Problem-Solving Appraisals

Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1992
Behavioral analytic methods were used to create a college student version of the Means Ends Problem Solving Procedure (MEPS). This instrument then was administered with measures of perceived problem-solving ability to depressed and nondepressed students to determine whether differences exist in both problem-solving ability and problem-solving appraisal.

‘Problem-solving’? Or problem solving?

The Mathematical Gazette, 1996
David Hilbert (1862–1943) was one of the most outstanding mathematicians of the modern era. At the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris in 1900 he presented twenty-three major research problems which he felt would be important for the development of mathematics in the twentieth century.

Problem Solving

2012
Abstract Problem solving refers to cognitive processing directed at achieving a goal when the problem solver does not initially know a solution method. A problem exists when someone has a goal but does not know how to achieve it. Problems can be classified as routine or non-routine, and as well-defined or ill-defined.

Problem solving and problem‐solving education in dentistry

European Journal of Dental Education, 1997
Academic education in dentistry should lead to the capability to solve complex open problems. The student entering university is only familiar with closed problems. Research into the making of a medical diagnosis has shown that novices do so differently than experts.

Solving the problem of physics problem solving

International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1993
My thesis reported a detailed study of physics problem solving behaviour. In it, physics problem solving among novices was investigated, and features of problem solving behaviour which affect their success are identified. Why do students of physics have so much difficulty with physics problem solving?

Problem‐solving skills, solving problems and problem‐based learning

Medical Education, 1988
Summary. This paper reviews the empirical evidence in support of the three concepts in the title. To the extent that a skill should be a general strategy, applicable in a variety of situations, and independent of the specific knowledge of the situation, there is little evidence that problem‐solving skills, as ...
