Problem Finding (Problem Posing) (Jacob Getzels, 1970s) – the process of identifying, framing, or redefining problems worth addressing. Problem Finding involves noticing gaps, contradictions, or opportunities, and is often open-ended and creative. Problem Finding is seen as distinct from PROBLEM SOVLING because how a problem is posed largely determines the solutions possible.
