Hi Jayapria, I would add to Nayana's comments: ... and deep.
The job of a teacher is not to teach but to spark an ongoing willingness to learn. A doctor should not treat the symptoms, but the disease.
In learning science, you study "first principles." These are statements that apply no matter the situation. I think in attempting to teach common sense, you should be trying to get people to understand not "the problem" but rather "the nature of the problem" and not try to find "the solution" but rather "the type of solution." If someone can understand the nature of the problem, they are more likely to be able to apply a similar type solution from their experience. People should not be trained on applying solutions to problems, but rather to apply a type of solution to a type of problem. I am not sure that is common sense, but it is trainable.
That being said, experience helps. Experience helps people identify "types" and matches more quickly.
