For this discussion, use the six-step critical thinking process (PDF is attached) to analyze the problem-solving process the team used in the video. Please note that there is also a transcript of the discussion provided if you are not able to view the video.
What errors did the team members make? How could they have improved on their problem-solving process? What steps in the six-step Critical Thinking Process were applied correctly? Was something omitted?
Reflect on your own problem-solving experiences outside of this course and those you have seen in your current or former workplaces. Have you seen the result of others who have made the same errors as seen in the video? Why do you think these errors are easy to make? How could the Critical Thinking Process have redirected the errors?
If you were a member of such a team, what recommendations would you make to ensure positive results by using the critical thinking process? What step in the six-step Critical Thinking Process will help you the most when working with teams?
As you complete this discussion, avoid performing research and using citations. Internet research is not needed because you are sharing your thoughts and experiences and not those of another author.

Learner will observe and use all relevant facts pertaining to a problem to be solved.
a.

b.
For non-text situations, learner will demonstrate that he/she has identified precisely what is required in the situation needed to solve a problem.
c.
Learner will demonstrate that he/she has a clear idea of what will be required in order to say the problem is solved.
2.
Learner will proceed in a systematic step-by-step way to break the problem down into parts.
a.
Learner will identify what information is provided and what information must be determined.
b.Click here for more on this paper…….
Learner will begin with describing what is provided as the start point for solving the problem.
c.
Learner will layout the information visually; such as, using diagrams, notes, symbols, or tables, to determine how the provided information relates to the information to be determined.
3.
Learner will engage in a continual self-dialogue as he/she works through the problem.
a.
Learner will continually ask himself/herself for a rational for each step that he/she is taking; what is the basis for taking each step.
b.
Learner will continually check for the accuracy of his/her steps and inferences based upon checking the steps against what the problem is asking the learner to accomplish.
c.
Based upon his/her self-dialogue, learner will adjust or provide new inferences.
d.
Once learner has arrived at a believed solution, the learner will check the solution against what he/she has determined as required to solve the problem.
4.Click here for more on this paper…….
Learner will persist in finding the solution to the problem even though the problem seems very complex.
a.
Learner will carefully analyze the problem to determine if he/she has the necessary information to proceed (# 1. above).
b.
Learner will work by breaking the large problem into smaller, more easily tackled steps (# 2. above).

c.
Learner will remind himself/herself that he/she can figure the solution and walk himself/herself through the steps (# 3 above).
d.
Learner will take note of where he/she is in terms of where he/she needs to be and note any progress being made (# 3 above).
To accomplish the four objectives, Capella has a Critical Thinking Process to use as a tool to sharpen your critical thinking and problem solving skills. Use our six-step Critical Thinking Process whenever you are approaching a problem to find a solution. Provide examples of how each step enhances a solution to the problem.
[Insert in here the problem to be resolved by applying critical thinking process. It will be one of these assignments: u03a1, u04a1, u05a1, u06a1, u07a1, u08a1].
Step 1. Demonstrate a positive attitude toward solving a problem. (In this step, explain how you kept a positive attitude as you completed the assignment.)

Step 3. Break the problems into workable parts. (In this step, explain how you broke the assignment into smaller more easily tackled parts and provide a reason for each part.)
[write your composition here]
Step 4. Do not guess or jump to conclusions. (In this step, describe how you found if you have the necessary information to proceed. For example, explain how you identified what information is provided and what information must be determined.)
