Meta-skills development needs assessment among undergraduate students

“…Creative problem-solving is not a new skill. It is considered as an essential higher order thinking skill, which can be fostered by integrating critical thinking, creative thinking, and problem-solving thinking, and creating both formal and informal learning settings that encourage learners to practice and develop their ability to think and formulate solutions independently ( Amran et al., 2019 ; Boobphan et al., 2012 ). It is a meta-skill that is normally expected to be developed in an undergraduate programme.…”
