Abstract:
This research examines the effectiveness of integrating inquiry-based learning into the Chinese higher education system, with a particular emphasis on enhancing students creative problem-solving skills. A total of 229 first-year students from the Faculty of Politics and Healthcare Services participated in the study. They were randomly divided into a control group (n=119), which utilized conventional teaching methods, and an experimental group (n=112) receiving instructions based on inquiry and problem-solving approaches. To establish the researchs credibility, an extensive methodology and metrics for expert assessment were formulated. The experimental phase was extended for six months, enabling a thorough evaluation of the potential effects of the proposed approach. An additional three months were allocated for students in both the control and experimental groups to engage in problem-solving tasks and receive evaluations from experts, who assessed proficiency in problem-solving through video recordings in a virtual classroom. The findings revealed that the experimental group consistently outperformed the control group in various domains related to creative problem-solving. Significant differences were observed across scales such as originality, flexibility, complexity, creative thinking, analytical skills, collaboration, communication, risk-taking, resourcefulness, practicality, and overall score (p = 0.00).
