A research study designed to engage primary school children in real-life problem solving using Creative Problem Solving (CPS). Qualitative data (various feedback forms, logs and video tapes) were collected from the teacher, two observers and the first grade students. Findings show the children were able to apply CPS on real problems at varying degrees; children could apply six out of eight divergent and convergent tools; experiential materials were more successful than lectures; and teachers need to guide more than facilitate youngsters during the use of CPS.
