  1. The Objective Knowledge Growth Framework in [and] Principal’s Decision Making: A proposed International Professional Development Association 2010 Conference Birmingham, UK Stephanie Chitpin Paul Newton Don Klinger Peter Grimmett Claire IsaBelle November, 2010

  2. Purpose of this activity • To use a reflective decision-making approach to solve difficult problems and issues in organizational settings; • To increase awareness of own problem solving skills. steph.chitpin

  3. Identification of Problem (P1) Tentative Theory (TT1) Error Elimination (EE1) OKGF cycle Figure 1. Schematic representation of the OKGF. steph.chitpin

  4. A1 – Identification of Problem Definition of Problem (P1): • the problem(s) you face in your school or organization • What are difficult problems? • What makes them problematic? steph.chitpin

  5. What is a problem? • Elements of problems • -Complexity; • -Competing solutions; • -Nature of problems steph.chitpin

  6. A1 – Examples of problems • How to improve EQAO scores? • ? steph.chitpin

  7. Activity 1: Identification of a problem • Work in a team (4 or 5 ). • Identify a problem that you had to deal with. • Write the problem on the blank template provided. • Be prepared to solve the issue. steph.chitpin

  8. TT1 – Tentative Theory Definition of ‘TT1’: • a statement that helps you solve the identified problem. • synonyms for policies, standards, guidelines, steps, criteria. steph.chitpin

  9. Activity 2: Identification of Tentative Theory • In your team or group, find one theory to solve the identified problem in Activity 1. • You may make reference to policy, guidelines etc. • Write the selected theory on the blank template. steph.chitpin

  10. Activity 3: Application of theory • In team, test the effectiveness of the theory using the following criteria: • Feasible given time period • Useful • Clear • Relevant • Focused • Describe on the blank template under TT1 your reasoning behind the effectiveness of the theory. steph.chitpin

  11. EE1 – Error Elimination • Definition of ‘EE1’: • the detection of weaknesses and limitations when applying the theory to solve the problem; • one or more of the criteria are not met. steph.chitpin

  12. Activity 4: Error elimination • In team, decide on one of the two possibilities: • whether to revise the theory or discard it and find a new one; • 2. Write your decision on the blank template under (EE1). steph.chitpin

  13. (A2): Identification of new problem Definition of ‘P2’ : refers to the problem that is being reconsidered. steph.chitpin

  14. Completed template • See next slide steph.chitpin

  16. Blank template • See next slide steph.chitpin

  18. Reflection • Does this framework help you to understand the problem and solution(s)? • What did you learn about the problem through this process? • What did you learn about your own knowledge and theories? steph.chitpin
