Synthesis occurring in the define stage when organise and interpret the gathered data to create a problem statement. Synthesis come through a proper analysis since we break down the concept or ideas to make useful decisions about the problem (Tutorials Point, 2018). The main two synthesis activities such as 5 whys and Fish-bone diagram are widely using to synthesise and define the problem of practice.
5 whys
It is a commonly used technique to look deeper into the problems. For example, students may be distracted in a particular learning space for different reasons. Asking 5 whys helps to uncover the root cause of the issue.
Why students are uncomfortable in the class?
Why there is not enough room to move around?
Why this class room chairs are hard?
Why the room is small and with few power points?
Why the students seating arrangement in long way?
Developing the problem statement
- I am a student who is uncomfortable, distracted and bored
- I am trying to work collaboratively with my peers to learn
- But the chairs hurt and there’s not enough room for my belongings and my laptop is flat
- Because the chairs are plastic, the room is small and the few power points are taken
- Which makes me feelunmotivated trying to get on with the tasks
Finally, turned into a one sentence problem
Students find it hard to be comfortable and organised as the furniture is uncomfortable and impractical with too few power points and they feel unmotivated and dis organised.
