State exams frequently use word problems to measure mathematics performance making difficulties with word problem solving a barrier for many students with learning disabilities (LD) in mathematics. Based on meta-analytic data from students with LD, five empirically validated word-problem strategies are presented with components of model-based problem solving (MBPS) highlighted.

The main research purpose focused on the effects of conducting the instructional model based on the principles of creative problem solving with social media to promote the creation of educational innovation for pre-service teachers. The participants consisted of twelve pre-service teachers. Research instruments were 1) the instructional model based on the principles of creative problem solving with social media, 2) the test of knowledge and creation of educational innovation, 3) the creation of educational innovation’s evaluation form, and 4) the questionnaires’ conducting this instructional model. Collected data were analyzed with statistics and categorized into key issues based on literature. The results were presented through the form of Shapiro-Wilk, Wilcoxon signed-ranks test, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and descriptive analysis. The research findings were presented as follows: 1) the effects of conducting the instructional model that was conducted sixteen weeks on the course 0537211 Innovation in Educational Technology and Communications in the first semester of 2020. The research hypothesizes were followed the established as follows; 1.1) the pre-service teachers had post-test scores’ the knowledge and creation of educational innovation higher than pre-test with statistical significance at the .01 level. 1.2) they had post-learning scores for creating educational innovations’ processes at the overall excellent level (M = 92.83, S.D. = 11.78), and their educational innovations were be post-learning at the overall good level (M = 48.33, S.D. = 7.45) 2) the opinions’ pre-service teachers toward conducting this instructional model that they have positive opinions to this conduct at the overall excellent level (M = 4.92, S.D. = 0.25).

Intending to lead organizations to continuous improvement, this chapter proposes a methodology that involves three axes: risk management, problem- solving, and feedback experience. This methodology allows organizations to characterize the experiences they have already confronted, as well as new experiences (which can be risks or problems) with the use of taxonomies established by the organization. It also enables them to capitalize and exploit their knowledge base. This work proposes a best-use approach of the past experiences that are similar to a current event and facilitate their treatment and provide solutions. The authors take the feedback as a point of articulation between the two methodologies because it is a mechanism that offers knowledge where it can be found that the organizations must avoid and take advantage of.

Social network scholarship emphasizes that receiving resources from others in a network can benefit an individual’s job performance. Yet this paradigm rarely considers the effects on the provider of assistance. Outside the networks literature, scholars have been increasingly attentive to factors that affect motivations to provide help (i.e., prosocial motivation). However, the performance effects associated with providing help have been mixed. We concentrate specifically upon assistance that has the potential to enhance the providers’ learning and knowledge base and, hence, their performance. Using a bounded-network survey in a large consulting firm, we show that providing problem-solving assistance to many others on task-related matters increases the provider’s own work performance. We then consider how this learning may be affected by other relational and contextual factors. In so doing, we shift the predominant network perspective that people accrue performance advantages from receiving assistance to show that such advantages also occur—under the right circumstances—from providing it.
