Preferred term

problem structure  

Definition

  • A problem structure is a theoretical construct used to explain how one or more individuals understand an issue; it is composed of a starting state and a finishing state. Once problem solvers have settled on the assumptions or causal mechanisms composing the start and finishing states, they turn to formulating the necessary steps required to move from start to finish.
