Students, no matter how young, are able to solve problems once they are provided with the necessary guidance. When students are confronted with problems/issues which they have created for themselves, they are most times, willing to provide solutions to correct the negative behaviour and would also ensure that others do not repeat this behaviour.
Some teachers believe that the age of students restrict problem solving skills but if these skills are not developed from an early age, then students will be deficient in this area and that of analysis and critical thinking skiils when they are older.
Teachers too need to be aware of problems which may develop within the problem-solving activity and be efficient and effective in defusing the situation. Hence, problem-solving activities demand careful planning before execution.
