There are two types of issues/problems that we are all experiencing in our lives:

• natural phenomena

• human-nature problems

• human-made problems

• natural-problems

This step of problem solving exposes pupils to a particular situation.

• Finding Facts.

• Finding Solution.

• Formulation of the hypothesis.

• Identification of the problem.

This step of the problem solving is the collected information will be classified and analyzed to identify the possible solutions to the presented hypothesis.

• Test the idea.

• Brainstorm

• Stating Facts.

• Creating Hypothesis

Identify two advantages of maximizing problem solving skills in the teaching PE and Health:

• Pupils become independent thinkers.

• It is time consuming.

• The ability of the teacher to conduct and handle problem-solving activities in the classroom.

• They learn to formulate hypotheses.

This emphasizes a child-centered learning environment where students actively build their understanding through problem-solving. The goal is meaningful learning within authentic real-world contexts.

• Learning styles

• Multiple Intelligence

• Constructivism

• Student-centered

This step of the problem solving is where the given hypothesis will be tested to determine the best solution to address the problem.

• Test the facts.

• Test the problem.

• Test the idea.

• Test the solution.

This is one of the disadvantages of having problem-solving strategies in teaching.

• They institute a healthy and favorable relationship with teachers and classmates.
