Abstract
This packet contains instructional materials and online modules prepared for Fueling the mind, feeding the world: Decision making – Identifying and analyzing problems (DM01). It includes curriculum, PowerPoint slides, activities, handouts, grading considerations, and notes for instructors. These materials were created as part of the USDA Grant entitled "Fueling the Mind, Feeding the World: Enhancing Communication and Decision-Making Skills of Secondary Agricultural Education Students."
MODULE OVERVIEW: Decisions are made daily and affect every facet of life. Although in some situations this activity is simple and straight forward, other situations are more complex, and consequences of a poor decision can be devastating. The decision-making process can be more effective by first critically examining the problem—identifying and analyzing the problem are the key first steps in making decisions. This content focuses on four major steps to begin decision making (understand the issue, identify and analyze the problem, cause and effect analysis, and the five whys) and offers a “deep dive mini lesson” on structured and unstructured decision-making.
