IV. PROCEDURES
A. Springboard/Motivation (Establishing a purpose
for the lesson) Activity 1. (Puzzle Me Out)

 Present a word puzzle game to the learners.

 Give them 1mintue to answer the game and proceed to the
next words.
 Check learners work after wards.
B. Activity (Review of previous lesson/s or Activity 2: (Together We Are Team)
Presenting the new lesson)
 Show a video presentation to the learners on a team or group
who encountered problems.
 Ask learners to give attention to the video presentation to be
able to answer some questions base on the video.

Ask:

 What is the video all about?

 What problem mentioned in the video?
 How did the team face the problem?
 What strategies did they do to solve the problems?
 Does the video motivate you? Why?

C. Analysis (Presenting examples/instances of the Activity 3: (Put Me Back Into Pieces)

new lesson)
 Group learners into three by randomly counting one until three.
 Give each group a same picture puzzle and ask them to put the
pictures into its correct form.
 The first group who will answer the activity correctly will win.
 Give credit to the groups who win by giving candies or lollipop
just to boost their interest to the lesson.
  Reveal the correct form of the pictures after the activity.

D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new Presenting the Lesson

skills (sub-activity #1)
 Ask participants if based on the human knot activity, they can identify
the basic steps in problem solving. Have them share few answers.
 Review with learners the problem solving steps in Handout 3.4:
Problem Solving Steps and Tips in their Participant’s Handbook.

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new Activity 4: (Role-Play)

skills (sub-activity #2)
 Continue discussing the handout on tips in problem solving.
 Refer to page 14 on the MyDev Module 3 module.
 Tell participants that they are going to practice the basic steps of
problem solving with a few scenarios.

 Divide them into small groups of 3 – 5 people; ask them to do a role –

play on Handout 3.5: Scenarios for Problem Solving in their
Participant’s Handbook.
F. Abstraction (Making generalizations about the Class Participation
lesson)
 What are the steps in Problem Solving?
 Why do we need to define the problem in a certain situation?

 Why do we need to know what are the possible solution in a

problem?

G. Application (Developing mastery) (Class Participation)

 Have some groups share the scenarios with the large group, and
explain how the person in that scenario can use the 6 problem
solving steps to solve the problem.
 Explain that after a solution is tried out, it is important to assess
if it is working. If not, another solution needs to be identified
that is acceptable by all.
 Explain that to solve problems, it is important to make
decisions. The steps to solving problems can help us make good
decisions

H. Valuing (Finding practical application Ask:

of concepts and skills in daily living)
 Did you ever feel like quitting? What kept you going?
 As a leader, what actions might you use when a problem
becomes hard to solve?
 If you were going to re – do the activity or a similar one, what
would you do differently?
I. Evaluation (Assessing learning)
 Direction: Analyze the jumbled basic steps of problem solving, on
a separate sheet of paper, arrange it systematically from first to
the last step.

 Evaluate the solution

 Get more information about the problem
 Choose a solution
 Define the problem
 Generate many ideas on how to solve a
problem
 Implement the solution

J. Agreement (Additional activities for application or  Help a friend solve a certain problem using the 6 problem
remediation) solving steps. Write this in a piece of paper.
