Abstract

Advanced technology nowadays must be parallel with human ability to solve problems. However, some of the problem-solving approaches or methodologies must be used to overcome the advancement of technology. One of the methods that can be used is the theory of inventive problem solving which is TRIZ, that is not only used in engineering, but to all types of fields in the world. Moreover, this is one of the skills that had been suggested by the Ministry of Education (MOE) in Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 to produce students that are not only competitive but also innovative, brave, highly skilled and have creative and critical thinking. This research aims to know the acceptance of TRIZ problem-solving among computing students. Thematic analysis was used to analyze data by using NVIVO. As a result, it shows that most of the students can accept TRIZ problem solving to solve problems in computing including usability, usefulness, usage process and behavior through TRIZ methodology. TRIZ as a systematic and structured methodology that is used to solve problems, is the main reason why it has been used. Besides, the inventive principles in TRIZ methodology are being used without realizing that the methods used are part of the TRIZ methodology. Thus, logical thinking and thinking outside the box can be expressed indirectly to solve problems. In conclusion, the majority of students accept the use of TRIZ methodology to solve problems regardless of multiple fields of computing or other fields.
