The main focus of this research was to explore six Computer Science teachers' use of problem-solving and programming activities and approaches in a case study.From the initial interviews, it is indicated that teachers have been using problem-solving skills in a rather random fashion, based on their intuition.The findings indicate that participating teachers' initial teaching/learning strategies were not as effective as one would expect.The results suggest that by applying problemsolving guidelines as part of an intervention, it directed teachers' teaching/learning activities in a more efficient way which, in turn, benefited the students.
