How can you design a problem-solving training program for diverse learners?

When designing a program, I usually start by assessing the targeted participants and grouping them based on their thinking process. For example, problem-solving for analytical introverts can be different than problem-solving for creative professionals or problem-solving for perfectionists.

Understanding learners before designing a problem-solving training program is crucial, akin to embarking on a journey with a well-prepared map for effective navigation. Without prior assessment, initiating training is like setting sail without knowledge of sea conditions. Methods such as surveys and interviews act as a compass, gauging learners' problem-solving skills, learning styles, motivations, and expectations. Just as a navigator relies on tools, understanding learners allows precise tailoring of the program to their needs, enhancing effectiveness. This approach ensures an engaged audience, resembling the foundation for a successful learning experience.

Considere suas variadas necessidades, estilos de aprendizado e experiências. Inicie com uma avalia??o abrangente para identificar lacunas e preferências, estabelecendo objetivos mensuráveis e adotando diversos formatos de aprendizado, como leituras, vídeos e exercícios práticos. Inclua atividades práticas e estudos de caso para aplica??o do conhecimento, integrando feedback construtivo para orientar os alunos. Utilize tecnologia e recursos online para oferecer flexibilidade, escolha facilitadores qualificados e promova a colabora??o em grupo. Implemente avalia??es contínuas, ajuste o programa conforme necessário e revise regularmente com base no feedback dos alunos, mantendo o conteúdo atualizado e relevante para garantir o aprendizado.

By defining the objective, I define the mission that the participants are accepting when enrolling in the program. This way, they will be clear on the result of the program, which they will aim to achieve. It's important to get their understanding and commitment to the final results.

Specific: The objective clearly states that learners will apply a “five-step problem-solving process.” This is a well-defined skill. Measurable: Success can be measured by assessing whether the learners can apply this process in a scenario. Achievable: Assuming the learners have the basic skills and resources needed, learning a structured problem-solving process is a realistic goal. Relevant: The objective is relevant as it is directly applicable to “real-life scenarios in their work context,” which ensures that the learning is practical and beneficial to their professional development. Time-bound: The phrase “by the end of the program” sets a clear timeframe for achieving the objective.

Considero que se debe poner en perspectiva que dise?ar programas de formación deben incluir tecnología actual como: Prismas de Santillana: Proporciona a los docentes todos los datos que necesitan para revisar el progreso de sus clases, al mismo tiempo que facilita análisis complejos, predicciones y recomendaciones para mejorar los resultados. Thinkster Math: Los estudiantes resuelven problemas y ejercicios en la aplicación y ésta produce informes de progreso detallados que especifican su comprensión de las diferentes habilidades evaluadas. Querium: Permite dominar las habilidades críticas de STEM mientras los prepara para la universidad y las carreras. Sin embargo, debe ser su uso de forma responsable y con valores éticos.

You should always consider that your learners may be coming to you with issues: personal fears or prejudices, prior knowledge, and possibly anger. The participants may have fear/prejudices against the topics you are trying to coach them on, and this will make them less inclined to have a positive attitude toward you. The second problem is participants have some knowledge of your topic, which makes it difficult to capture and retain their attention. The third problem, anger, comes when a person's supervisor makes them come to your class or lecture. To combat all three of these problems, knowing your audience in advance is helpful, but so is having a set of tools to combat each scenario.

La metodología que yo aplico para afrontar problemas se llama el Método SFA y consiste en lo siguiente: 1.- S de Se?al. Identifica qué es lo que realmente está pasando. Muchas veces no lo identificamos porque nos resulta incómodo aceptar algunas cosas. 2.- F de Foco. Abre tu espectro. Mira todas las posibles cosas que puedes hacer en tu vida aparte de ese problema. ?Qué cosas tenías desatendidas? 3.- A de Acción. Elige una acción que deje obsoleto el problema anterior, algo que cambie tu realidad actual. Empieza a actuar y verás como te sientes con mayor tranquilidad y enfoque.
