Abstract: This article reviews the research conducted with the Productive Thinking Program and identifies the theoretical constructs or variables needed to interpret those results in a systematic way. The Productive Thinking Program is a recently developed instructional program for creative development. The program proposes to develop creative problem-solving abilities and related attitudes among fifth and sixth grade pupils. Principles of creative problem solving and affective characteristics related to effective problem solving are presented in a series of mystery-story problems. Recent research addressed to the facilitation of creative thinking and problem solving through instruction is beset by a number of problems. Some of these are at the level of definition and measurement. Research in the area of creative thinking and problem solving has been characterized as being analogous to blind men "viewing" an elephant. There is an urgent need for systematization and integration of research findings to bring educational implications clearly into view.
