Evaluation Matrix

Sometimes there are just too numerous alternatives but you have to make one anyway.  The evaluation matrix is a great conclusion making tool for assessing and prioritizing amidst from 2 to 20 choices This item recounts the device and tells you how to use it.

The following is a easy evaluation matrix with six (6) options/choices listed down the far left pillar and four (4) criteria listed over the peak row.  The choices are those that we desire to make alternatives from or rank in alignment of priority.  The options should be distinct sufficient from one another that a alternative matters. (Chipman, 2001).

Criteria are chosen from those that are most significant to us in making the choice.  The criteria are distinct from each other.  They must also be aligned to one another in periods of how you would grade them...a high or reduced numerical gradeing should mean the identical for each one...good or bad.  A good way to start is to evolve or brainstorm a list of criteria and then choose the ones that make the most sense for this choice.

Problem-Solving Techniques

It is not enough to describe a problem-solving process and to recount how persons differ in their approach to or use of it. It is furthermore necessary to identify exact methods of attending to individual differences. Fortunately, a variety of problem-solving techniques have been identified to accommodate individual preferences. Some of these techniques are oriented more to NT and SJ individuals who tend to be more linear and serial, more structured, more rational and analytical, and more goal-oriented in their approach to problem solving (Chipman, 2001).

The following methods aim more on reasoning and critical thinking, particularly within the context of applying the technical approach:

Analysis--the identification of the components of a situation and consideration of the relationships among them.

Backwards planning--a goal selection process where mid-range and short-term conditions necessary to obtain the goal are identified this technique is related to the more general technique of means-ends analysis.

Categorizing/classifying--the process of identifying and selecting rules to assembly objects, events, concepts, persons, etc.

Challenging assumptions--the direct battle of concepts, mind-set, or mind-set that have previously been taken for allocated (Bransford & Stein, 1984; Brookfield, 1987);

Evaluating/judging--comparison to a standard and making a qualitative or quantitative judgment of worth or worth.

Inductive/deductive reasoning--the methodical and ordered development of directions or concepts from specific examples or the identification of cases founded on a general standard or proposition utilizing the generalization and inference.

Thinking aloud--the process of verbalizing about a difficulty and its solution while a colleague listens in minutia for mistakes in conceiving or understanding.

Network analysis--a systems approach to project planning and management where relationships among activities, events, resources, and timelines are developed and charted. Specific demonstrations encompass Program Evaluation and reconsider Technique and Critical route Method.

Plus-Minus-Interesting (PMI)--considering the affirmative, negative, and intriguing or thought-provoking aspects of an concept or alternative utilizing a balance sheet grid where in addition to ...
