dc.description.abstractProblem-solving skills help individuals cope with problem by analyzing it, and proposing viable solutions based upon available information. They are crucial for learning, societal participation, and personal activities, as well as for employment success. They decrease depression and aggression while improving academic performance and prosocial behaviors. Developing problem-solving skills can start at a young age through methods like problem-based learning, inquiry-based learning, and project work. In this brief we tell you more about its relevance, as well as successful initiatives to foster these skills and the existing tools to measure them.
