Abstract

Creative Problem Solving (CPS) offers a powerful, practical set of tools for people of all ages to learn and apply. In educational settings, CPS is valuable for adults and for students to empower individuals and groups to think creatively and critically, deal with complex, open-ended problems, and manage change; CPS also plays a role in promoting talent recognition and development. This article describes the foundations for understanding the CPS system and the reasons for its importance in education, summarizes major influences on the development and evolution of CPS over more than five decades, summarizes current educational applications, and outlines a number of current and emerging trends and issues for research, development, and practice.
