BACKGROUND Team idea mapping (TIM) method is a type of brain storming technique for group deliberation in a non judgmental and friendly environment. It encourages participation by all the members, thereby instilling confidence. Such deliberations can enhance problem solving skills of postgraduate (PG) students. OBJECTIVE The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of TIM sessions on the problem solving skills of PG students of Biochemistry, as deduced from retro-pre self-efficacy questionnaire. METHODS The study was conducted enrolling students pursuing PG-MD course in Medical Biochemistry in a premier medical college. First TIM session was preceded by sensitization of PG students and departmental faculty. In total, four TIM sessions were conducted. Retro-pre self efficacy questionnaire was administered 3 months after the last session. Feedback from the students was collected immediately after last session and satisfaction index was also calculated. RESULTS The satisfaction index was highest (100) for items stating that TIM sessions promoted interactivity and participatory behavior and lowest (78) for item stating that TIM sessions promoted reflective behavior respectively. The students expressed enhanced self-efficacy in understanding Biochemistry concepts, clinical application of Biochemistry, problem solving skills in Biochemistry, interpreting laboratory reports, participation in group works and clarifying problems with peers and seniors. However, the sessions were not as effective in instilling technical skills like trouble shooting for analyzer breakdowns. CONCLUSIONS TIM is an effective tool for instilling problem solving skills in medical PG students, additionally fortifying their attitude to work in groups. CLINICALTRIAL NA

Background: There is a need for interventions to promote health management of older adults with pre-frailty and frailty. Technology poses promising solutions, but questions exist about effective delivery. Objectives: We present the results of a mixed-methods pilot evaluation of Virtual Online Communities for Older Adults (VOCALE), an 8-week intervention conducted in the northwestern United States, in which participants shared health-related experiences and applied problem solving skills in a Facebook group. Methods: We performed a mixed-methods process evaluation, integrating quantitative and qualitative data, to characterize the intervention and its effects. We focus on four areas: health-related measures (health literacy and self-efficacy), participation, problem solving skills enacted, and subjective feedback. Results: Eight older adults with pre-frailty and frailty (age = 82.7 ± 6.6 years) completed the study. There was an upward trend in health literacy and health self-efficacy post-intervention. Participants posted at least two times per week. Content analysis of 210 posts showed participants were able to apply the problem solving skills taught, and exit interviews showed participants’ increased awareness of the need to manage health, and enjoyment in learning about others. Conclusion: This mixed-methods evaluation provides insight into feasibility and design considerations for online interventions to promote health management among vulnerable older adults.

The relationship between problem-solving efficiency, defined in terms of the quality of alternative soludons selected, and measures of behavioral competence (self-efficacy and locus of control) was investigated as well as the effectiveness of a problem-solving training program. Subjects were 29 undergraduate students assigned to an effective ( n = 16) and an ineffective ( n = 13) problem-solving group. Analysis indicated that the ineffective problem-solvers appraised their problem-solving skills more negatively and reported low self-efficacy expectations and an external control orientation. Problem-solving training led to improved general self-efficacy expectancies, greater confidence in problem-solving, a more internal control orientation, and improved problem-solving skills. These improvements were maintained at follow-up after two months.

This research aims to determine the differences in problem-solving skills in students taught using auditory intellectual repetition (AIR) learning models and conventionally reviewed from the self-efficacy level. The type of research used is a quasi-experimental design. The research population is high school students in the South Jakarta area. Determination of samples using random cluster sampling and stratified random sampling. The instruments used are problem-solving tests and non-test instruments that are questionnaires. Analyze data using two-lane Variance Analysis. Data analysis shows that; (1) there are significant differences in problem-solving skills in students using air learning models and conventional learning, (2) there are differences in problem-solving skills in students with high, medium, and low self-efficacy, (3) there is a significant interaction between AIR learning and self-efficacy to problem-solving ability, (4) there are significant differences in problem-solving skills between groups of students in AIR learning and conventional learning that have high self-efficacy, (5) there are significant differences in problem-solving skills between groups of students in AIR learning and conventional learning who have moderate self-efficacy, and (6) there are significant differences in problem-solving skills between groups of students in AIR learning and conventional learning who have low self-efficacy.

Problem solving is one of the basic abilities in mathematics learning. Problem solving skills can encourage students to think critically, creatively, and can develop other mathematical abilities. The research conducted aims to analyze students 'problem solving abilities in solving problems in mathematical problems and to determine students' self-efficacy towards mathematics. The approach used is a qualitative descriptive approach. The test given is a description problem and attitude scale to measure students' self-efficacy. Questions were tested on class VIII students in one of the junior high schools in the city of Bandung. The results of the study showed that as many as 1 student could not identify the adequacy of the data to solve the problem so that he got a score of 0, while 21 students were not precise in understanding the problem given, while 7 students could not complete the mathematical model and could not verify the correct solution, so it can be stated that the problem solving abilities of students in one of the junior high schools in Bandung are still low so that efforts need to be made to improve, but students have good self-efficacy in mathematics.
