This chapter examines the task-centred model to illustrate the application of problem-solving theory for social work intervention. First, it provides a brief description of the problem-solving model. Its historical development and key principles and concepts are presented. Next, the chapter offers a general overview of the crisis intervention model. The task-centred model and crisis intervention share principles and methods drawn from problem-solving theory. The remainder of the chapter focuses on the task-centred model. It reviews its historical background, viability as a framework for social work generalist practice, as well as its applicability with diverse client populations and across cultural settings. The structured steps that guide task-centred implementation throughout the helping process are described. A brief critical review of the model’s strengths and limitations is provided. The chapter concludes with a brief summary and some closing thoughts.

THEORIES AND PRINCIPLES OF PROBLEM SOLVING IN MATHEMATICS
![problem solving principles pdf Profile image of FUSEINI NAYI ALHASSAN](https://a.academia-assets.com/images/s65_no_pic.png)
2023, Article
Doing mathematics means that students are engaged in learning mathematics through reasoning and problem solving (NCTM, 2014). Prospective mathematics teachers need to learn about how to engage students in solving and talking about tasks that can be tackled in different ways by different students. Mathematically, proficient students are able to make sense of a situation, select solution paths, consider alternative strategies and monitor their progress (CCSSO, 2010). Before we can be effective in teaching mathematics, we need to have a good knowledge about what we are supposed to be teaching and how students learn mathematics. We are familiar with why we teach mathematics at the basic and high schools.

Mathematics teachers use typical problems from past examination papers and textbook exercises to develop procedural skills. In this paper, we discuss other uses of typical problems. We focus on the affordances that an experienced teacher, John, perceives in typical problems and how he uses them to enhance student learning by harnessing the idea of teaching with variations or bianshi. Drawing on data from a larger qualitative design-based research on investigating teacher noticing, we present snapshots of John’s classroom practices to show what he noticed about the variations afforded by typical problems and how he used these problems with students to promote both procedural skills and conceptual understanding. Findings suggest the value of supporting teachers in harnessing variations of typical problems, which has implications for teacher education and professional development.

Quality mathematics education relies on effective pedagogy which offers students appropriate and rich opportunities to develop their mathematical proficiency (MP) and intellectual autonomy in learning mathematics. This qualitative case study aimed to explore and analyse selected effective mathematics teachers' proficiency in the area of geometry in five secondary schools in five different Namibia educational regions. The sample was purposefully selected and comprised five mathematics teachers, identified locally as being effective practitioners by their peers, Education Ministry officials and the staff of the University of Namibia (UNAM). The schools where the selected teachers taught were all high performing Namibian schools in terms of students' mathematics performance in the annual national examinations. The general picture of students' poor performance in mathematics in Namibia is no different to other sub-Saharan countries and it is the teachers who unfortunately bear the brunt of the criticism. There are, however, beacons of excellence in Namibia and these often go unnoticed and are seldom written about. It is the purpose of this study to focus on these high achievers and analyse the practices of these teachers so that the rest of Namibia can learn from their practices and experience what is possible in the Namibian context. The mathematical content and context focus of this study was geometry. This qualitative study adopted a multiple case study approach and was framed within an interpretive paradigm. The data were collected through individual questionnaires, classroom lesson observations and in-depth open-ended and semi-structured interviews with the participating teachers. These interviews took the form of post lesson reflective and stimulated recall analysis sessions. An adapted framework based on the Kilpatrick, Swafford and Findell's (2001) five strands of teaching for MP was developed as a conceptual and analytical lens to analyse the selected teachers' practice. The developed coding and the descriptive narrative vignettes of their teaching enabled a qualitative analysis of what teachers said contributed to their effectiveness and how they developed MP in students. An enactivist theoretical lens was used to complement the Kilpatrick et al.'s (2001) analytical framework. This enabled a deeper analysis of teacher teaching practice in terms of their embodied mathematical knowledge, actions and interactions with students. procedural fluency (PF) and productive disposition (PD), were addressed regularly by all five participating teachers. Evidence of addressing either the development of students' strategic competence (SC) or adaptive reasoning (AR) appeared rarely. Of particular interest in this study was that the strand of PD was the glue that held the other four strands of MP together. PD was manifested in many different ways in varying degrees. PD was characterised by a high level of content knowledge, rich personal experience, sustained commitment, effective and careful preparation for lessons, high expectations of themselves and learners, collegiality, passion for mathematics and an excellent work ethic. In addition, the teachers' geometry teaching practices were characterised by making use of real-world connections, manipulatives and representations, encouraging a collaborative approach and working together to show that geometry constituted a bridge between the concrete and abstract. The findings of the study have led me, the author, to suggest a ten (10) principles framework and seven (7) key interrelated factors for effective teaching, as a practical guide for teachers. This study argues that the instructional practices enacted by the participating teachers, who were perceived to be effective, aligned well with practices informed by the five strands of the Kilpatrick et al.'s (2001) model and the four concepts of autopoesis, co-emergence, structural determinism and embodiment of the enactivist approach. The study concludes with recommendations for effective pedagogical practices in the teaching of geometry, and opportunities for further research

Innovative instructional strategies utilization effects on the senior secondary students’ algebra achievement in Rivers State was investigated in this study. The design adopted for the study was the pretest-posttest quasi – experimental design type. The sample of 76 schools used for the study were purposively selected while 398 students were selected randomly from intact classes and used for the study. The research was guided by two research questions and two hypotheses. Algebra Achievement Test (AAT) with 0.80 reliability coefficient was the instrument used for data collection. The statistical tools used for data analysis were mean, standard deviation and analysis of covariance. Findings indicated significant difference in the achievement mean scores of students based on strategy but not based on gender. Therefore, utilizing innovative instructional strategies by Mathematics teachers shall ensure effective and equitable teaching and learning of algebra in the secondary schools. Art...

Mathematics Anxiety (MA) and Mathematics Teaching Self-Efficacy (MTSE) have been reported as factors related to teachers’ mathematics instruction. This study investigated MA and MTSE in in-service elementary teachers’ virtual mathematics instruction. A comparative case study design was used to understand the relationship between MA, MTSE, and their virtual mathematics instructional practices. Two in-service elementary teachers from an urban public charter school district in a large metropolitan city in the Midwest participated. I employed qualitative methods to examine the results from the Abbreviated Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (AMAS), an adapted version of a researcher-developed instrument called the Mathematics Teaching and Mathematics Self-Efficacy Scale (MTMSE), interviews, teacher classroom observations, post-observation interviews, and a fraction simulation task to learn how teachers approached virtual mathematics instruction. Results indicated the in-service elementary ...

Title: data science principles for interpretable and explainable ai.
Abstract: Society's capacity for algorithmic problem-solving has never been greater. Artificial Intelligence is now applied across more domains than ever, a consequence of powerful abstractions, abundant data, and accessible software. As capabilities have expanded, so have risks, with models often deployed without fully understanding their potential impacts. Interpretable and interactive machine learning aims to make complex models more transparent and controllable, enhancing user agency. This review synthesizes key principles from the growing literature in this field. We first introduce precise vocabulary for discussing interpretability, like the distinction between glass box and explainable algorithms. We then explore connections to classical statistical and design principles, like parsimony and the gulfs of interaction. Basic explainability techniques -- including learned embeddings, integrated gradients, and concept bottlenecks -- are illustrated with a simple case study. We also review criteria for objectively evaluating interpretability approaches. Throughout, we underscore the importance of considering audience goals when designing interactive algorithmic systems. Finally, we outline open challenges and discuss the potential role of data science in addressing them. Code to reproduce all examples can be found at this https URL .

COMMENTS
Problem Solving • Use Polya's method to solve problems. • State and apply fundamental problem-solving strategies. • Apply basic mathematical principles to problem solving. • Use the Three- Way Principle to learn mathematical ideas.
Problem statements should commence with a question or a firm hypothesis. Be specific, actionable and focus on what the decision maker needs to move forward. Break a problem into component parts so that problems can be divided and allocated. The parts should be MECE. Do it as a team, share with Experts and client to get input and alignment.
Algorithmic problem solving is the art of formulating efficient methods that solve problems of a mathematical nature. From the many numerical algo-rithms developed by the ancient Babylonians to the founding of graph theory by Euler, algorithmic problem solving has been a popular intellectual pursuit during the last few thousand years.

Step 1: Understand the problem. It would seem unnecessary to state this obvious advice, but yet in my years of teaching, I have seen many students try to solve a problem before they completely understand it. The techniques that we will explain shortly will help you to avoid this critical mistake. Step 2: Devise a plan.
PRINCIPLES OF PROBLEM SOLVING There are no hard and fast rules that will ensure success in solving problems. However, it is possible to outline some general steps in the problem-solving process and to give some principles that may be useful in the solution of certain problems. These steps and principles are just common sense made explicit.
Three examples of a problem solving heuristic are presented in Table 1. The first belongs to John Dewey, who explicated a method of problem solving in How We Think (1933). The second is George Polya's, whose method is mostly associated with problem solving in mathematics. The last is a more contemporary version
7 Problem Solving Principles (John Maxwell) 1. Face Reality. Don't ignore it and try to see it as it actually is. This is the foundation for solving problems. 2. Ask for Help. None of us are as smart as all of us. People need help to solve problems. Working together to solve problems brings people closer together. 3. Don't Add to the Problem.
can use problem solving to teach the skills of mathematics, and how prob-lem solving should be presented to their students. They must understand that problem solving can be thought of in three different ways: 1. Problem solving is a subject for study in and of itself. 2. Problem solving is an approach to a particular problem. 3.

Some problems are simple and easy to solve while others are hard and complicated. When we have a big problem, we must not surrender but find a realistic goal that, when reached, will make a problem smaller and manageable. For example, pollution is a big global problem, impossible to be solved by an individual, a town or even a country.
Problem-solving knowledge is, conceptually, of two kinds. Declarative knowledge is knowing that something is the case. It is knowledge of facts, theories, events, and objects. Proce-dural knowledge is knowing how to do something. It includes motor skills, cognitive skills, and cognitive strategies. Both declarative and procedural knowledge are ...
Abstract This chapter presents Alex Osborn's 1953 creative problem-solving (CPS) model as a three-procedure approach that can be deployed to problems that emerge in our everyday lives. The three procedures are fact-finding, idea-finding and solution-finding, with each step carefully informed by both divergent and convergent thinking.
