    Area of Science:

    • Educational Psychology
    • Cognitive Science
    • Curriculum Development

    Background:

    • Effective group decision-making is crucial in academic and professional settings.
    • Students often lack structured approaches to complex problem-solving and group collaboration.
    • Existing curricula may not adequately address the practical application of decision-making frameworks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate the Guided Design methodology for teaching group decision-making skills.
    • To assess the effectiveness of Guided Design in developing students' understanding of decision-making language and processes.
    • To provide a non-threatening environment for students to practice complex problem-solving.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of the Guided Design process in a classroom setting.

  • Utilizing detailed component analysis and constraint identification.
  • Applying a structured questioning approach (who, what, when, where, why, how) for information gathering and analysis.
  • Integrating familiar content to facilitate student engagement and learning.
  • Main Results:

    • Students gained a solid foundation in decision-making processes and language.
    • The methodology proved effective for cause identification, problem-solving, and anticipating issues.
    • Students experienced the complexity of group dynamics and the diversity of potential solutions.
    • The process was found to be adaptable for early curriculum integration and advanced leadership courses.

    Conclusions:

    • Guided Design provides a valuable, accessible framework for teaching decision-making skills.
    • The iterative nature of the process, enhanced by feedback, leads to continuous improvement.
    • This methodology equips students with transferable skills for diverse group decision-making scenarios.
    • Early and repeated application of Guided Design reinforces critical thinking and collaborative problem-solving abilities.
