ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on pedagogy specifically for creative problem solving. Middle C comprises several elements that are necessary for a model of pedagogy for creative problem solving. Culture is simply, deeply, utterly, completely fundamental to creative problem solving: creative problem solving is an expression of culture; creative problem solving is a cultural expression of creativity. Model creative problem solving; run a lunchtime or after-school problem solving club for students; and include problems and puzzles in their school newsletter. Create a creative problem solving teaching and learning environment. Provide the best foundations that will support a psychologically healthy and strong internal learning environment for the student. The members of the school's student representative council did think, and they suggested that the bus stop scenario provided an excellent problem that needed to be solved. Mini-c creativity recognises the internal environment of the student.
