Purpose Organizational learning relies on problem-solving as a way to generate new knowledge. Good problem solvers should adopt a problem-solving orientation (PSO) that analyzes the causes of problems to arrive at an effective solution. The purpose of this paper is to investigate this relevant, though underexplored, topic by examining two important antecedents of PSO: knowledge sharing mechanisms and transformational leaders’ support. Design/methodology/approach Hierarchical linear modeling analyses were performed on a sample of 131 workers in 12 plants. A questionnaire was designed to collect data from shop-floor employees. Knowledge sharing was measured using the mechanisms of participative practices and standardized practices. Management support was assessed based on the extent to which supervisors engaged in transformational leadership. Findings Knowledge sharing mechanisms are an antecedent of PSO behavior, but management support measured in terms of transformational leadership is not. However, transformational leadership affects the use of knowledge sharing mechanisms that, in turn, is positively related to PSO behavior. Practical implications The research provides practical guidance for practitioners to understand how to manage knowledge in the workplace to promote employees’ PSO behaviors. Originality/value Though problem-solving activities are intrinsic in any working context, PSO is still very much underrepresented and scarcely understood in knowledge management studies. This study fills this gap by investigating the antecedents of PSO behavior.

This study presents the problem that is solving math story question is a difficulty for students so the teacher uses a problem solving model and students will find it easier to understand the meaning of the story question and be able to solve them. The research design is qualitative and descriptive approach. The subjects in this study were the principal, student guardians of grade 4 (mathematics teacher), and students. Data collection techniques were in the form of interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that by planning, implementing, evaluating the use of a good problem solving model will be able to solve problems, with the obstacles and efforts will be get a good result.

“Children can demonstrate some good problem solving if given a chance,” according to Moser and Carpenter. In “Young Children Are Good Problem Solvers” (p. 24). they report on a study of problem solving done by young children. One of the authors' concluding statements is, “lf you want good performance, you have to work at it and include a strong dose of problem solving in your teaching.”

As a mathematics teacher, I try to emphasize that the answer to a problem is not as important as the technique used in finding the answer. A good problem-solving technique is a major objective in mathematics.

Purpose Research has shown that the problem-solving skills of adults with a vocational education and training (VET) background in technology-rich environments (TREs) are often inadequate. However, some adults with a VET background do have sound problem-solving skills. The present study aims to provide insight into the socio-demographic, work-related and everyday life factors that are associated with a strong problem-solving performance. Design/methodology/approach The study builds on large-scale data of the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) and gives insight into VET adults (N = 12,929) with strong problem-solving skills in 11 European countries. Findings This study introduces new knowledge with respect to the socio-demographic, work-related and everyday life background factors that contribute to successful VET adults’ problem-solving skills. The findings of the authors illustrate that a continuous process of development including non-formal and informal activity, as well as learning taking place at work, is associated with strong performance in problem-solving skills in TRE. Research limitations/implications An important implication of this study is that this paper introduces novel knowledge for VET adults’ competences and can be used to support the development of VET adults’ problem-solving skills in TREs. Originality/value The study was conducted to explore new understanding about good problem-solvers in TREs with a VET background. The originality of the study derives from its focus on good problem-solvers in TREs related to a VET background. The findings can be used to create novel ways to enhance the development of VET adults’ problem-solving skills in TREs.

Good Problem

Currently, some students habitually answering questions with one answer. They only use the certain formula or certain steps to get answer. Thus, the ability of problem-solving and optimism that should have owned by students is not visible because of the habit of completing routine problem. Whereas the ability problem-solving and optimism is needed in the face of all the challenges that occur. This is becaused people who are able to solve the problem would be receive every event, whether it is good or bad events. They will seek the solution of problem faced and anticipate every possibility that occurs to the measures that have been selected. This study aims to determine (1) the ability of students to problem-solving and (2) optimism of students in problem-solving. This is qualitative research with test of problem solving and guided interview of optimism as instruments. Subject of this research is six students grade VIII of Junior High School at Peukan Pidie, Aceh. The results show that three students have good problem-solving ability, three other students have enough abilitiy in problem-solving. Optimism of students in problem-solving based on the dimensions of optimism is three students optimist at dimension PMG, three other students not optimist. One student was optimist on the dimensions of PVG, five other students not optimist. Five students are optimist on the dimensions of PSG and PMB, one student not optimist. All students are optimist on the dimensions of PVB. Two students are optimist on the dimensions of PSB, four students are not optimist

Problem solving is solving problems. To develop problem-solving skills, students need to solve many problems on their own. But they also need to see good problem-solving techniques illustrated by you, the teacher. In this article, four specific problems are presented, discussed, and extended to illustrate how diverse instructional strategies, materials, and resources can be used in the junior high school classroom to develop these skills.

Good Problem

The association between women's perceptions of the interaction within their families and symptomatology related to eating was investigated in a case series of 81 women suffering from bulimic disorders. Bingeing was more frequent when the family was perceived to have poor problem-solving skills but was less frequent when the women perceived their families as having a more cohesive style. In contrast, abnormal restriction of intake was linked, although not significantly, to the converse pattern of perceived interaction within the family—greater when the family was relatively cohesive and lower when the family had good problem-solving skills The same family characteristics appear to be ‘risky’ for some symptoms and ‘protective’ against others.

The teaching of problem solving has been one of our most difficult tasks. Problem solving is more than just a single skill. The ability to solve problems quickly and efficiently calls on several elusive skills that must be combined in an organized manner. The computer is a tool that strengthens the student's skills in problem solving. In fact, it might be said to force the student to use good problem-solving techniques.
