Acquiring problem-solving skills from an early age is vital to build a strong foundation for critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation in the future, enhancing students' scientific abilities and motivating them to explore scientific topics.
In this context, Qatar University’s (QU) Young Scientists Center (YSC) launches the 6th Cycle of the Problem-Solving Program, which includes 13 primary schools for boys and girls in Qatar. The center is a pioneer in providing innovative educational programs and important educational initiatives to enhance students' abilities.
As part of the program, students receive the necessary educational resources during workshops in their school laboratories. The problem-solving program is characterized by an engaging and enjoyable educational method that allows students to learn and have fun simultaneously and the essential skills they need to succeed in the future, such as thinking, analysis, testing, teamwork, communication and innovation skills.
This cycle is distinguished by the inclusion of the Audio Education Complex for boys, and support and guidance will be provided to them to ensure efficient and effective implementation of the program in a flexible and suitable learning environment for students. This step aims to provide equal educational opportunities for all and promote active learning and active participation in addition to raising awareness of the educational challenges faced by individuals with hearing disabilities and the need to involve them in all initiatives.
Director of the YSC, Prof. Noora Al-Thani expressed her happiness with launching the cycle, affirming that the center always seeks to develop students' scientific and intellectual skills, motivating them to think critically and solve complex problems. She also emphasized the importance of the student’s role in directing sustainable development paths and helping to face environmental problems in the world.
