With this study, a model for the teaching process is proposed to meet the teaching requirements in web-based learning environment (WBLE). Fundamental components of this model are psychosocial atmosphere of the learning environment and the teaching strategies, which are the basics of teaching process. The psychosocial atmosphere of the environment in the teaching process "content management system" (CMS) is primarily introduced. Afterwards, "creative problem solving" (CPS), which is one of the teaching strategies bearing the potential to activate higher order thinking skills of students is introduced and stepwise described (1) definition of the problem, (2) creating ideas, (3) decision making, (4) design and planning, and (5) application and monitoring. Finally, a theoretical model is proposed for web-based learning environment by designing a teaching process relying on the pattern between content management systems and creative problem solving.
