Creative Problem

Purpose This paper aims to consider why creative problem-solving techniques may not always produce useful results and sets out to explain why this might be and what steps should be taken to avoid it happening. The paper provides an understanding of how different creative problem-solving techniques are best suited to gaining insights into problems requiring different degrees of paradigm shift. It argues that team members’ personalities and thinking styles and team composition should be taken into account when using the techniques. It examines the role the facilitator plays in planning and conducting the ideation process. Design/methodology/approach The paper provides simple illustrations of some of the creative problem-solving techniques. It reviews relevant literature and argues how individual differences of team members along with team composition can influence team performance in using the creative problem-solving techniques. Findings Personality, thinking styles and learning styles are relevant to the effective use of creative problem-solving techniques. Team composition, team motivation and mood factors should also be taken into account. The facilitator is key in ensuring the efficacy of the problem-solving process. Originality/value This paper will be helpful to academics who study creative problem-solving as well as informing management practitioners and trainers about the procedures and potential pitfalls to avoid.

The aim in this study was to explore the effect of applying an innovative teaching strategy to promote students' learning achievement. Students in three classes of a 4-year hotel management program participated. One class was assigned to experimental group 1, and learnt using the creative problem solving (CPS) strategy applied to a web-based cooperative learning (CSCL) method; another experimental group 2 used the CSCL, and the control group (CG), used traditional lecturing. After conducting the quasi-experiment, the collected data were analyzed by quantitative methods. Differences in achievement among the three classes reached significant levels, and the achievement of group 1 was significantly better than that of the control group.

Abstract   The purpose of this article is to compare the cooperative learning outcomes on social networking with the creative problem solving process which affected creative problem solving ability and teamwork skills. With the purposive sampling method, 25 pre-service teachers were divided into 5 groups according to three levels of their learning ability - clever, medium, and weak. Each group learned by means of cooperative learning on social networking in order to brainstorm and give some suggestions for solving problems to the researcher. Teamwork skills used as research instruments were as follows; solving problem activities and treatment skilled evaluation test. Samples were asked to evaluation themselves and their team after their learning through social networking.  The questionnaires, pre-test and post-test were used in this research with the analysis of Arithmetic means, standard deviation and t-test. The result of this research indicated that learners engaged in cooperative learning with creative problem solving method could succeed after having some problems solving. This group of learners all got the higher scores in post-test compared with pre-test showing statistically significant at the .05 level. Students who engaged in teamwork skills over social networking with creative problem solving ability have statistically significantly higher score than the previous test at 0.5 level. Keywords: Cooperative learning, social networking, creative problem solving process, creative problem solving ability, teamwork skills.
