N2  - Teachers play an important role to help student in solving problem in school and consequently preparing
for their future career. Teachers can be the most important feature to expose thinking style in class. This is the
implication of Technical and Vocational Education and Training programme which requires the students to be able
to think creatively and critically in problem-solving. As inventive problem solving is known to be creative
assessment methods for innovation, it is needed to guide Design and Technology teachers to expose the student
new technique of solving a problem. This study attempts to investigate teachers? perception of their thinking style
and inventive problem-solving skill. The importance of thinking styles in inventive problem-solving skill and the
factors contributing to the achievement to inventive problem solving are also discussed. Data were collected from
367 Design and Technology teachers across Malaysia. Data obtained were analyzed descriptively. This study
confirmed that teachers know the role of thinking style in solving a problem. They also admit that inventive
problem-solving skill is important but half of them still having problem to master the skills. Problem identification
is claimed to be a vital process in solving a problem but yet, majority of them still facing problem in finding the
root cause. As a counter-measures on this miss-alignment, modules are needed by teachers to help them integrating
their thinking styles into teaching and learning in class. Module also acts as teaching aids for teachers in guiding
them solving inventive problems. (Abstract by authors)
