Explain Dewey's five-step process-oriented method for students to engage in problem solving.

What will be an ideal response?


Dewey set out five steps to problem solving: First, encounter a problem that needs to be solved. Then define and clarify that problem through questioning to figure out what needs to be solved. Third, collect information about the problem. Then make a hypothesis and look into possible actions and outcomes. Finally, take action on the hypotheses that will seem most likely to solve the problem.
