9 Steps to Problem-solving process
A website which offers a summary for problem-solving process:-
From least complex to complex:-
Puzzle Problem -> Efficient Solution
E.g. Crossword puzzle
Algorithm -> Correct Solution
E.g. Multiple-choice questions
Story Problem -> Correct solution
E.g. English comprehension (Questions are posed based on a comprehension passage)
Rule-Using Problem -> Information
E.g. Using of an online auction to search good and resonably priced gift.
Trouble-shooting -> Fault isolation
E.g. Getting an inactive Internet connection to working by running diagnosis tests from the computer's "Network and Sharing Center".
Diagnosis-Solution -> Fault identification and treatment
E.g. Developing a set of instructional tools to teach students how to use photoshop in preparation for a design module.
Case method Problem -> Decision, action and argumentation
E.g. Resolving piracy issues with information privacy laws.
Designs -> Problem articulation, options, design, justification
E.g. Designing an public relations campaign for a client.

Affective Learning (Example)
Synopsis: This is the story of Dick & Rick Hoyt, the most inspirational father and son team to race in an Ironman race.
Levels of Learning:
1. Receiving
Captures attention through:
- Well edited video with heart-wrenching segments of the actual Ironman race
- Supplemented by a song with meaningful lyrics
- Ending with a bible verse
2. Responding
- For the youtube video, many people responded by giving comments about how this video had been an inspiration to them
3. Valuing
I've watched this video a couple of times since I've entered NUS. It never fails to pull my heartstrings every time I revisit this video. The value that was brought across to me was the fact that in consideration of the extent to which a human-father can put in such immense efforts to show his love for his son through his actions, it puts into perspective and sheds light on how much more a God-Father's love can extend to His children by sending His son to die on the cross for them.
Key instructional conditions:
1. Role model
- Team Hoyt (Father-son team)
2. Allow practice
- The video does not state or allow practice but it sets people thinking about what they can do in deed and in actions to extend kindness to their loved ones.
3. Reinforcement
- Focus on family values will strengthen the social fabric of the society
