📚 Content

This module builds essential thinking and problem-solving capabilities required in AI and software development:

1. Analytical Thinking Skills

Learners develop the ability to break down problems and interpret data effectively by applying:

  • Research and information gathering

  • Forecasting and prediction

  • Data mining and interpretation

  • Reporting and communication

  • Organisational thinking

2. Problem Solving & Critical Thinking

Learners apply structured methods to analyse and solve problems:

Root Cause Analysis (RCA):

  • Define the problem/event

  • Use techniques like the 5 Whys

  • Identify probable and root causes

  • Test and validate causes

  • Develop and implement solutions

  • Verify outcomes and document results

Decision-Making Techniques:

  • Apply decision tree analysis

  • Evaluate different solution paths

  • Select optimal solutions based on outcomes

3. AI Problem Solving

Learners are introduced to solving real-world problems using AI approaches:

  • Formulate real-world problems

  • Search and analyse relevant data

  • Apply AI techniques to solve problems

  • Develop simple models (e.g., game trees and logical structures)


🎯 Outcome

By the end of this module, learners will be able to analyse complex problems, apply structured decision-making techniques, and design logical solutions, including basic AI-driven approaches.
