Problem-solving techniques : a barrier in financial management learning

M.Comm. (Financial Management) / At the University of Johannesburg (UJ), the subject financial management is taught on various programmes across various disciplines. Lecturers find many students struggling with this subject and particularly with applying their knowledge to practical scenarios. If the problem (practical scenario) is not similar to a scenario previously encountered, many students struggle to solve these problems by themselves. This article will attempt to identify and explain key principles that need to be considered by lecturers in order to improve the problem-solving performance of their students in financial management. Most aspects identified and elaborated on lie within the field of educational psychology. This article will attempt to create an awareness of the key underlying principles of a problem-based pedagogy.
