teaching-learning instruction guidelines. On the basis of the learning steps of the creative problem solving, the
concrete teaching-learning instruction guidelines in the ‘bridal make-up’ section are presented as follows. In
the understanding step of a problem, brainstorming technique was applied to understand the characteristics of
