The document outlines a 7-step process for using a problem-based learning approach: students first explore an issue, state what they know and what they need to learn, define the problem, research knowledge to find solutions, investigate possible solutions, present and support the chosen solution, and finally review their performance to improve problem-solving skills.

Gather necessary information; learn new concepts, principles, and skills about the proposed topic.
Step 2: State what is known.
Individual students and groups list what they already know about the scenario and list what areas they are lacking information.
Step 3: Define the issues.
Frame the problem in a context of what is already known and information the students expect to learn.
Step 4: Research the knowledge.
Find resources and information that will help create a compelling argument.
Step 5: Investigate solutions.
List possible actions and solutions to the problem, formulate and test potential hypotheses
Step 6: Present and support the chosen solution.
Clearly state and support your conclusion with relevant information and evidence.
Step 7: Review your performance.
Often forgotten, this is a crucial step in improving your problem-solving skills. Students must evaluate their performance and plan improvements for the next problem.
