The purpose of this study is to review the development and application of creative problem solving learning model especially in the last 1 decades. Research method used in this study was literature review. We collected  more than 20 references related to the history, development, and application of the CPS model.  Data collection technique used was through literature study. The results of this study obtained some types of CPS models such as CPS version Treffinger, CPS version Osborn, and CPS published by Creative Education Foundation. The CPS model proposed by the Creative Education Foundation is the latest and best model because it was developed to improve the previous CPS model. Each CPS Model has different steps with some similar goals. CPS is applied at several levels of education for learning Natural Sciences and Mathematics. CPS has a significant influence on the achievement of cognitive competence and problem solving skills

In recent years, calls to nurture and teach creativity from an early age in schools has intensified. Creativity is something regular in the teaching of arts subjects but is not a common feature in teaching science, technology, engineering and mathematics subjects. However, what really matters, is how the subject is being taught. This research aimed to foster creativity through the teaching of mathematics via problem solving that challenges the solving of problems in a creative manner, which is defined as creative problem solving. This quasi-experimental study investigates changes in students learning of mathematics via creative problem solving. Altogether, 172 Form 1 students forming treatment and comparison groups from four schools in Gombak District area, Malaysia were involved. A mixed qualitative and quantitative data were collected to investigate the effect of the 3 cycles of creative problem solving lessons implemented. Instruments used were Torrance Test of Creative Thinking, a mathematics problem solving test and creativity checklist. This paper will only present the quantitative data obtained. Results show statistically significant increases in scores for most categories of creativity and problem solving tests. This research brought together teachers and researchers in trialling creative problem solving to teach mathematics, to achieve the enhancement of students’ creative thinking and problem solving skills. This coincided with the introduction of Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Menengah with new emphasis to strengthen the quality of science, technology, engineering and mathematics education in general, where higher-order thinking reforms are emphasized.

: This research was conducted to identify misconceptions of students of Physics education related to the material "Mechanics" by applying the Inquiry model and Creative Problem Solving (CPS) model. The research was conducted by using the literature study method. In line with this, this research was conducted on students majoring in Physics education. This study aims to (1) determine the level of misconceptions that occur in students of the Department of Physics Education (2) determine the effectiveness of the Creative Problem Solving Model to reduce the level of misconceptions that occur in physics education students

The purpose of this research is to describe students' mathematical problem solving abilities during learning process with Creative Problem Solving (CPS) model and simultaneously to see the improvement of problem solving ability of students. This research uses a qualitative approach together with quantitative through concurrent embedded strategy. The sample of research is 22 students of class VIII SMP Negeri 4 Pilot Aceh Tamiang. The instruments used are problem solving and semi-structured test. Data of problem solving ability of student during learning with CPS model was analyzed descriptively, while improvement of problem solving ability of student was analyzed by t-test using SPSS software version 22 for windows. The results showed that there was development of problem solving ability of students during learning with CPS model. The development of students 'problem-solving abilities is demonstrated by students' ability to understand problems, plan settlements, solve problems and re-examine them. This ability is evident at every meeting. Further research results also show there is an increase in problem solving skills of students with CPS model.

The ability to think creatively is very important to be developed in students, especially when learning is starting to shift to blended learning where students are required to be able to organize portions and also how to learn independently, for this reason, students in this era need to grow their creative abilities to be able to keep up with educational developments. This study aims to conduct studies related to factors that can foster creative thinking skills. The research method used in this study is the SLR (Systematic Literture Review) method. Data collection is done by collecting similar research articles and limiting it to the topic of mathematical creative thinking skills. The articles used in this study were 20 articles with the topic of creative thinking skills. Based on the literature review, the most influencing factors in creative thinking skills are problem-based models and open-ended approaches. For this reason, using the CPS model with an open-ended approach will provide a model with a new alternative approach that can be tried to improve creative thinking skills.
