Unit 13 - 3.2 Solve
theoretical problems within a personal self directed A&D project.
Theoretical problems are the problems you perceive before
you actually create or come across them, so these are the types of problems you
expect or know will happen once you get going…
How am I going to find 9-10 people and their dogs and get them to turn
up to my location at the time I want them there?
Before you even start to work on this aspect of your project
it is only a theoretical problem, you might find that it doesn’t pan out to be
a problem, but theoretically if thought about it beforehand because of a number
of different variables it may turn out to be a real problem. Before trying to do it, it is a theoretical problem.
The point in which you can highlight theoretical problems in
your work would be the proposal and the Action
Plan section of your Gibbs Reflections. Within your work theoretical
problems need to be identified and then solved. Again within your Gibbs
Reflections you could identify where the theoretical problem was highlighted
and describe how it was resolved, perhaps in the What Happened and Analysis sections
of the Gibbs Reflections?
*Remember you
can use the Gibbs reflective format to generate almost all of your written work
once you get started on the practical and planning stages of the project once
the research is completed.
