Description

This lesson helps students apply problem-solving skills in real-life scenarios through role-playing activities. Students reflect on personal experiences with problems and discuss why problem-solving is important for handling challenges and conflicts. Teams agree on shared definitions of problem-solving, collaboration, and creative thinking. Students compare their own problem-solving steps with a structured process and practice identifying problems, brainstorming solutions, and choosing the best option. Teams act out real-life scenarios using assigned roles and reflect on how the steps supported responsible decision-making and social awareness.
