Abstract :
Problem solving, as commonly taught in schools, is an analytical or procedural approach. This approach almost exclusively employs left-brain thinking modes, is competitive, and relies on individual effort. However, creative problem solving is a framework that encourages whole-brain, iterative thinking in the most effective sequence; it is cooperative in nature and is most productive when done as a team effort
