Background

The aim of education is to provide students with opportunities to learn the effective problem-solving skills for the issues that they experience on a daily basis (Erdem-Keklik, 2013). The skills of problem solving, critical thinking, and communication are essential for all high school students in the 21st century (Carlgren, 2013). Helping college students as professionals who are able to deal with the real-world problems in the complex and dynamic situations is one of the essential goals for higher education (Choi & Lee, 2009). Higher education practitioners may facilitate the development of problem-solving skills through conducting the brainstorming session (Rodzalan & Saat, 2015).
