What is Problem Creative Solving (CPS)

Chapter 1
Handbook of Research on Creative Problem-Solving Skill Development in Higher Education
It is most often discussed as a thinking skills model. CPS is a ‘toolkit’ approach to creative thinking which often frustrates those people who believe that there is no way that you can ‘teach’ creativity but that is an inherent quality of a person. A popular creative thinking exercise is to follow stages including 1) preparation, 2) question formulation, clarification and reformulation, 3) purge, idea generation and incubation, and 4) idea clustering.

Abstract
Recent studies have emphasized issues of social emergence based on thinking of societies as complex systems. The complexity of professional practice has been recognized as the root of challenges for higher education. To foster creative problem solvers is a key response of higher education in order to meet such challenges. This chapter aims to illustrate how to understand: 1) complexity as the nature of professional practice; 2) creative problem solving as the core skill in professional practice; 3) creativity as interplay between persons and their environment; 4) higher education as the context of fostering creative problem solvers; and 5) some innovative strategies such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and building a learning environment by Information Communication Technology (ICT) as potential strategies of creativity development. Accordingly, this chapter contributes to bridge the complexity of societies, creative problem solving skills, and higher education development in one theoretical framework.
