Selected Strategies for Problem Solving in Secondary Schools

Abstract

Problematic situations in the educational process pose a significant challenge, affecting not only the effectiveness of teaching but also the quality of the educational environment. This paper explores key problematic situations that secondary school teachers frequently encounter, including disciplinary issues, student demotivation, and difficulties in understanding the curriculum. The authors aim to analyse these situations in terms of their potential causes, their impact on the educational process, and possible intervention strategies. The paper provides an overview of proven strategies for effectively addressing these problems, with an emphasis on developing pedagogical skills and building positive relationships between teachers and students. Research findings show that a proactive approach to problem situations can significantly improve the quality of teaching and contribute to a healthy school climate. The paper offers insights for teachers and school leaders on how to better manage the challenges of everyday teaching practice.
