Discussion
A graduate student thinks that he will write a resume, investigate the job market, and consult with friends and teachers for the job. The student is in which of the stages of problem solving?
Answer: B
The student is planning the solution. Writing a resume, investigating the job market and consulting friends and teachers are the steps chosen to reach the goal, which is the planning stage. Identifying the problem would be recognising that a job is needed, representation of the problem is forming a picture of it, and evaluating the plan comes after acting, to see whether it worked.
Evaluating the plan comes after the plan has been carried out, so it is wrong here, and the student has not yet acted. The student has already identified the problem (needing a job), so planning is the stage he is in.
