MEANS OF

PROBLEM
SOLVING Neha Regmi
ALGORITHM PROBLEM
SOLVING
 Algorithms are nothing but sequence of steps for solving problems
 They are precise sets of rules that guarantee

a solution if followed correctly.


 Following a systematic step-by-step

procedure to arrive at a solution.


HEURISTIC PROBLEM
SOLVING
 Heuristics, or "rules of thumb," are problem-solving methods that are based on practical
experience and knowledge .
 While they don't guarantee a solution, they often provide quick and efficient strategies.
INSIGHT PROBLEM SOLVING
 Refers to sudden and unexpected solutions that come to mind after a period of apparent
stagnation or impasse.
 Example of how this works:

1. By exercising creative thinking


2. Taking a break
3. Making connections
4. Following your intuition and asking for
TRIAL AND ERROR
 Involves trying different solutions until the correct one is found.
 While it may seem inefficient, trial and error can be effective.
OTHER MEANS
 Means-end-analysis
 Analogical problem solving
 Metacognition
 Collaborative Problem Solving
SUB GOAL STRATEGIES
 Sub-goal strategies in problem-solving involve breaking down complex problems into smaller,
more manageable tasks or sub-goals.
 By addressing these sub-goals individually, individuals can gradually progress toward the
ultimate solution.
DECOMPOSITION
 It involves breaking down the main problem into smaller, more easily solvable components.
 Each component becomes a sub-goal that can be tackled sequentially.
PROBLEM REDUCTION
 It involves simplifying the problem by eliminating unnecessary elements or constraints.
 By focusing on the essential aspects of the problem, individuals can reduce cognitive load and
facilitate problem-solving.
MEANS-ENDS ANALYSIS
 It involves identifying sub-goals that represent discrepancies between the current state and the
desired goal state.

Sub-goal Evaluation
 It involves assessing the effectiveness of each sub-goal in contributing to the overall solution.
