The first article in this series provided an overview of the concepts and processes of CPS (Creative Problem Solving) with a detailed discussion of the logistics of a CPS session (resources, materials, setup, and facilitation techniques). Each of the six phases of CPS — Mess-Finding (MF), Data-Finding (DF), Problem-Finding (PF), Idea-Finding (IF), Solution-Finding (SF), and Acceptance-Finding (AF) — involves a divergent (creative thought) phase, which focuses on generating new ideas and possibilities, and a convergent (critical thought) phase, which selects, synthesizes, and refines ideas.

Societies and businesses are faced with problems that contain too many new, unknown, and unintended consequences and even more so as humans have to face and deal with more complexity created by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. These problems have become ‘wicked problems'. Creativity is needed to solve problems as it allows people to create new ideas by using their mental toolkit, creative characteristics and behaviours. It is possible to solve wicked problems using collective and creative problem-solving approaches and tools. This means that people need to work together to generate creative ideas to find novel and breakthrough solutions. To try and find a “silver bullet” to solve wicked problems, various problem-solving approaches and tools were evaluated and it became evident that a combination of approaches supported by various tools might lead to solving wicked problems collectively and creatively.

Pada umumnya kegiatan pembelajaran yang terjadi adalah proses pembelajaran lebih menekankan pada belajar menjawab pertanyaan daripada belajar bagaimana untuk menyajikan pertanyaan. Siswa tidak belajar bagaimana memunculkan permasalahan matematis (problem posing). Hal ini mengakibatkan lemahnya kemampuan problem finding, sehingga kemampuan idea finding dan problem solving siswa juga lemah. Idea finding, problem finding, dan problem solving merupakan aspek kemampuan Creative<br />Problem Solving (CPS) matematis. Oleh sebab itu, kemampuan CPS menjadi hal yang sangat perlu untuk dikembangkan. Untuk tujuan tersebut, maka dilakukan pembelajaran dengan menggunakan Situation-Based Learning (SBL). Metode penelitian didesain menggunakan quasi eksperimen. Kelompok eksperimen mendapatkan perlakuan berupa pembelajaran SBL dan kelompok kontrol mendapatkan pembelajaran konvensional. Hasil penelitiannya adalah adanya peningkatan kemampuan CPS matematis siswa yang mendapat pembelajaran SBL lebih baik daripada siswa yang mendapat pembelajaran<br />konvensional secara signifikan. Kemampuan CPS matematis terkuat yang dimiliki siswa yaitu pada aspek fact finding, sementara kemampuan CPS matematis terlemah yang dimiliki siswa pada aspek acceptance finding.
