Problematization (문제화) is a term also translated as problem posing, problem framing, problem setting, or problem definition. This concept involves questioning known facts (like requests or common sense) from a new perspective, defining the problem, and devising methods to solve it. Problematization should be the starting point for all development, yet it remains insufficiently discussed within the field. Performing projects or developing programs is, in essence, planning to solve problems. This means they are related to problematization. To solve a problem, it must first be clearly defined. However, problems are mostly presented as vague requests. Therefore, the ability to transform vague requests into clear problems is essential to reduce unnecessary 'development waste,' facilitate smooth collaboration, and accurately grasp users' true needs. This lecture helps train 'the thinking of problem construction' through practical examples and tools.
