Which goal mentions teaching individuals better problem-solving techniques?

• A. Eliminating problem-solving
• B. Teaching individuals better problem-solving techniques
• C. Relying on luck to solve problems
• D. Avoiding decision-making

Answer: (B)

Teaching problem-solving skills through instruction and practice is what this item is evaluating. When a goal explicitly states teaching individuals better problem-solving techniques, it directly communicates an aim to build practical strategies, decision-making steps, and confidence in handling challenges. This kind of goal supports autonomy and adaptive functioning, which are central in Human Development and Family Science practice.

The other options describe approaches that weaken or sidestep problem-solving—eliminating it, relying on luck, or avoiding decisions—so they don’t align with developing an individual’s capability. Hence, the choice that explicitly mentions teaching better problem-solving techniques is the best fit.
