Abstract: Collaborative problem-solving (CPS) learning combines problem-solving and collaborative strategies. This strategy entails coordinating students’ actions to exchange knowledge or generate new knowledge to solve complex problems. Social skills, problem-solving abilities, critical thinking abilities, creative thinking abilities, and metacognitive dispositions and awareness have all been shown to improve with CPS strategies. This study assesses prospective elementary school teacher students’ perceptions of implementing CPS strategies in introductory science courses. In this qualitative study, data was gathered through in-depth interviews and questionnaires. The results of interviews with students and the completion of questionnaires show that CPS learning can assist them in actively exchanging ideas and knowledge, understanding, and problem-solving based on experience. They believe the CPS learning process is more interesting, enjoyable, and challenging. The constructivist and social cognitive theories were used to develop the interview guide and questionnaire. Cognitive, behavioral, and learning environment factors were among the themes identified through deductive thematic analysis. Thematic inductive analysis was used to analyze data from interviews. The data gathered from the questionnaires was reduced, classified, and descriptively analyzed. CPS fosters creativity, critical thinking, and improved performance. Finally, CPS learning offers additional advantages in terms of innovation, problem-solving abilities, and creative thinking.
