Question 11

EPME Structured Thinking Process Model

Answer 11

Being able to IDENTIFY the situation and the associated chapter principle(s) is a great beginning. However, you must also be able to justify your answer and explain why that principle is accurate from among other principles. Once the identification is complete, you must also be able to DIFFERENTIATE as to whether the principle is being applied appropriately/inappropriately or effectively/ineffectively. Again, you must justify why the principle is appropriate/inappropriate or effective/ineffective. You must also be able to DETERMINE the proper course of action based on principles. Furthermore, you must justify why the course of action is appropriate or effective. One final step is to PREDICT the outcomes of actions. Whether they‟re appropriate/inappropriate or effective/ineffective, you should be able to make a prediction related to the likely outcomes of the actions, and then justify your answer. Notice that justify happens as a part of each component.
