Abstract:
Since its inception, the Theory of Inventive Problem-Solving (TRIZ) has been used to enhance technological creativity. However, various difficulties arise during the process of learning and teaching. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the ongoing research and challenges in the application of TRIZ in teaching, learning, and the utilization of educational tools. The primary research questions addressed include: What are the existing problems and difficulties in teaching and learning TRIZ? What are the most commonly used and popular TRIZ tools for teaching and implementation? What educational methods and tools are available to support the teaching, learning, and implementation of TRIZ? The databases IEEE, Elsevier, Springer, and Google Scholar were searched from January 2010 to December 2022. The findings are discussed based on 15 primary studies, focusing on the challenges encountered in learning and teaching TRIZ, difficulties in implementing TRIZ, and the available educational methods and tools for TRIZ.
