Problem-solving is a critical skill in education that enables students to navigate challenges

effectively. The Creative Problem Solving (CPS) model, widely recognized in educational
theory, provides a structured approach to addressing issues. It includes six stages: understanding
the problem, generating ideas, developing solutions, planning for action, taking action, and
evaluating results. This model emphasizes creativity and innovation, essential for 21st-century
learners to adapt to complex situations and devise practical solutions (Adeoye & Jimoh, 2023).
By fostering these skills, educators can help students develop critical thinking and adaptability
necessary for academic and professional success.
One common issue in classrooms is the restriction on mobile phone use, which can hinder
students from accessing digital resources during lessons. To address this, using a projector screen
as a learning medium offers a practical solution. By incorporating all necessary materials into the
projected content, students no longer need to rely on their phones to search for information
during class. This approach aligns with the CPS model's emphasis on planning and implementing
creative solutions. It also reflects findings from studies that highlight the importance of
integrating technology into teaching to enhance engagement and learning outcomes (Salim et al,
2024). For instance, research shows that visual aids like projectors not only streamline
information delivery but also cater to diverse learning styles, making lessons more inclusive and
effective (Joseph, 2023).
Another prevalent challenge is the lack of flexibility in classroom layouts, which restricts
group discussions. Assigning independent tasks for home completion can mitigate this issue by
shifting collaborative activities outside the classroom environment. This strategy aligns with
problem-solving theories that advocate adapting instructional methods to overcome physical or
logistical constraints (Gunawan et al, 2020). Independent tasks encourage self-directed learning
while allowing students to engage in discussions virtually or in informal settings. Studies have
demonstrated that such approaches can enhance problem-solving skills by promoting autonomy
and critical thinking (Eldis et al, 2024). Furthermore, it reduces dependency on rigid classroom
arrangements, enabling educators to focus on individualized instruction during class time.
In conclusion, addressing these challenges through structured problem-solving strategies
not only resolves immediate issues but also fosters essential skills like creativity and adaptability
in students. These approaches demonstrate how innovative teaching methods can transform
obstacles into opportunities for growth and learning.
