Setting Up An Issue That Can Be Solved For Class

Simulation and problem based questions that have to be solved are an important part of higher level thinking. Giving students real life problems that have to be solved also give students meaning out of what they are doing. When setting up a problem, make sure that there are multiple solutions and that the students will get meaning from the problem. When they get meaning out of the problem and see it in a real life situation, they tend to learn more from the problem. This also gives them extra motivation to get their work done. In addition, make sure that you write out everything in detail so that students will understand the problem that is trying to be solved. Furthermore, give them resources that can help them solve the problem, but also encourage them to go out on their own and be creative and find resources and ideas that may solve the problem. This is another way students get more out of the assignment, by finding the information on their own or solving it as an individual or as a group.

If all the information is set up in the problem based question and it is done right students shouls take a lot of meaning from this assignment.
