PROBLEM COMPETENCY IN THE AI ERA · PRACTICE LAB

AIP–TDA–MASProblem Competency Lab

Work through a project and revise your judgment using evidence. Or bring a course unit and design an inquiry with a deliverable and observable collaboration.

Choose a teacher or student view Explore the three-layer model

Start from a real problem, work through the three layers, and keep evidence others can check.

Booking cancellation risk

The front desk wants to spot bookings that could cancel while keeping manual review manageable. Which question could your team investigate with evidence?

Frame the question

Who needs to make a decision? Which observations are established, and which points are assumptions?
How can you narrow the problem to a question your team can investigate? Whose perspective is missing?

Checkpoint

Write one investigable question. Include the user, the goal, one constraint, and one gap in your evidence.

Team notes in your own words

CASE LAB · ABC SMART HOTEL

Choose an AI method for a hotel problem

Write down your judgment first, then run the experiment. Keep the data, the baseline, and one conclusion that needs another check.

PBL-002 · V1.0.0

Which bookings deserve a manual check?

Use only lead days, which are known at booking. Find the three closest bookings by absolute distance, break ties by ID, then take the majority label. The baseline predicts no cancellation for every booking.

H01	2	No

This is a public self-study sample. For assessment, teachers can provide a fresh test set and release labels after submission.

01 · MODEL MAP

From a real problem to a reviewable design

Explore the three layers, then trace a case to see each role’s inputs, decisions, and handoff.

Start with an authentic situation and a knowledge gap. PBL organizes inquiry, PjBL organizes milestones, and SEL supports asking for help, negotiating, and making decisions.

Trace a case

The hotel example takes the general teaching-method route and skips the manufacturing node.

Input: Goals, learners, time, and materials
Decision: Identify missing information and the need for a domain node
Handoff: Course brief, route, and questions to clarify

Teacher review Check domain sources and process evidence. Return insufficient evidence to the method node or unclear constraints to the domain node.

Driving question: Two methods have the same accuracy. Which false alarms and missed cases would change the front desk’s decision?
Deliverable: An individual prediction, same-test-set evidence, and a reason for revising the judgment.

Record one SEL observation

Restate a different view accurately, then explain what evidence might change your initial judgment.

My initial judgment, the other view, and a possible revision
