Received: 18 April 2016 Accepted: 15 August 2017 Published: 9 October 2017 Abstract. Creativity is the ability of solving problem. Problem solving is an important skill studentsmust learn in order to copewith the demand of the 21st centurywhich saw unprecedented growth in technology. Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ), which emerged fromRussia in the 1960s, has been introduced to Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TARUC) since 2011 to train undergraduate and pre-university students in problem solving. There aremany TRIZ literatures on how TRIZ provides support to undergraduate students especially in the area of Mechanical Engineering. However, this paper takes a step away from conventional TRIZ literature, by exploring the bene its and challenges of teaching TRIZ to pre-university students. The study serves as a preliminary study of the TRIZ program and using both quantitative and qualitative methods on 28 students to gauge the effectiveness of TRIZ tools in supporting problem inding and idea inding in solving complex ill-structured problems. Descriptive analysis shows the improvement in ef icacy in problem inding, idea inding and overall problem solving after TRIZ program. The bene its of each TRIZ tool in problem inding and idea inding were uncovered through open-ended survey. Students also reported the bene its and challenges of learning TRIZ. This papermay potentially useful for TRIZ instructors on how to effectively teach TRIZ to pre-university students.
