This paper discusses the scientific problem-solving process as a cornerstone for fostering the joy of living, critical thinking, and effective education. Drawing on insights from Japan's Total Quality Management (TQM) and QC-circle practices, the study emphasizes the importance of empowering students to identify problems, learn autonomously, and solve issues constructively. The proposed “Three Basic Phases” framework integrates scientific and statistical methods with practical education to nurture self-efficacy and resilience. By promoting equitable participation, humility, and recognition of effort, this approach encourages a growth mindset in students, enabling them to experience personal growth and social contribution. The research also highlights the role of teachers in cultivating these abilities through empathy, encouragement, and a focus on the learning process. This integrative method aims to equip the next generation with processes and skills essential for a rapidly changing world.
