Problem Solving In Groups.

There are many approaches to problem solving, depending on the nature of the problem and the people involved in the problem. For many tasks, groups posses a greater collection of resources than do most individuals. Despite their advantages, groups are not always the best way to solve a problem. Many jobs can be tackled more quicly and easily even more efficiently by one or more people working independently. So we have to identify the problem, then analyze it. After that we develope creative solutions and evaluate them. And finaly implement the plan and follow up on the solution. Therefore problem solving in groups shows the nature of the leadership.


Working in groups can help us students tackle challenging problems by stimulating creative thinking and higher level reasoning strategies. When i and my group in the power lab., we used to face alot of problems in the connections of the motors and generators. we always cooperate and try to solve the problem. We were always getting high marks and that is because good communication to identify the problem and set up the best plan to solve it.


Groups stand the best chance of developing effective solutions to problems if they begin their work by identifying the problem, avoiding the mistake of failing to recognize the hidden needs of the individual members. Smart members will avoid some common dangers. They will make sure to get the information they need. They will guard against groupthink by minimizing pressure on members conform for the sake of harmony or approval.
