Abstract
In this article the author advocates the development of problem solving ability as a fundamental aim of all teachers, regardless of the age of the pupils or the subject being taught. A definition of ‘a problem’ and a breakdown of the problem solving process is offered. This is followed by a series of guidelines for the teaching of general problem solving strategies. Finally, an illustration is given of how a general model can be taught to young (6–8 year old) children.
