Abstrak

   Problem-solving is a critical skill that empowers students to face challenges, 
make informed decisions, and adapt to the complexities of the modern world. Teaching 
students to think like innovators involves fostering creativity, critical thinking, and 
adaptability—skills essential for academic success, personal growth, and future career 
readiness. This article explores the significance of problem-solving in education and 
examines  strategies  educators  can  employ  to  nurture  innovative  thinking  among 
students. Key strategies include implementing inquiry-based learning, teaching design 
thinking, promoting collaborative group work, and incorporating real-world challenges 
into  the  learning  process.  Furthermore,  the  article  emphasizes  the  importance  of 
cultivating a growth mindset and integrating technology as a tool for creative problem-
solving. Through these strategies, educators can prepare students to not only solve 
problems but also approach them with innovative and flexible solutions. This shift from 
traditional rote learning to innovative problem-solving paradigms equips students with 
the tools to navigate an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world.
