Product Description

Product Description

Provocative, challenging, and fun, The Ideal Problem Solver offers a sound, methodical approach for resolving problems based on the IDEAL (Identify, Define, Explore, Act, Look) model. The authors suggest new strategies for enhancing creativity, improving memory, criticizing ideas and generating alternatives, and communicating more effectively with a wider range of people. Using the results of laboratory research previously available only in a piece-meal fashion or in scientific journals, Bransford and Stein discuss such issues as Teaming new information, overcoming blocks to creativity, and viewing problems from a variety of perspectives. The Second Edition features: A new organization that focuses, in Part I, on the effective utilization of current knowledge and, in Part 11, on the explanation and use of the Ideal model. A refined problem solving model that is easier to understand and apply. A new chapter that explores strategies for improving how schools and organizations can prepare people to think and solve problems. New illustrative examples and exercises that encourage students to develop effective strategies for solving problems.

From the Author

Learn to tackle problems the IDEAL way
(taken from the back cover)

Identify, Define, Explore, Anticipate and Act, Look and Learn - that is the successful problem solving strategy developed and refined by psychologists John Bransford and Barry Stein.

This timely revision spells out the IDEAL framework in detail, demonstrating its effectiveness in tackling problems at school, at work, or at home. It incorporates a wealth of recent research on thinking and creativity and adds many new exercises, puzzles, brain teasers, and examples. Also included: a new chapter suggesting better ways to teach problem solving in schools and training programs.

The IDEAL Problem Solver will help you improve your memory, sharpen your critical thinking skills, generate creative solutions to problems, and communicate more effectively with a wider range of people. For students, teachers, and business people, for those who enjoy solving problems as well as those who dread facing them, it is the ideal blueprint for action.
