Read the passage and choose the best answer for the below questions.
Brainstorming is the simplest example of intentional creative thinking that most people have tried at
least once. With the quick generation of many ideas at once we can block-out our brain’s natural tendency
to limit our solution-generating abilities so we can access and combine many possible solutions/thoughts
and invent new ones. It is sort of like sprinting through a race’s finish line only to find there is new track on
the other side and we can keep going, if we choose. As with critical thinking, higher education both
demands creative thinking from us and is the perfect place to practice and develop the skill. Everything
from word problems in a math class, to opinion or persuasive speeches and papers, calls upon our creative
thinking skills to generate new solutions and perspectives in response to our professor’s demands. Creative
thinking skills ask questions such as - What if? Why not? What else is out there? Can I combine
perspectives/solutions? What is something no one else has brought up? What is being forgotten/ignored?
What about …? It is the opening of doors and options that follows problem-identification.
Consider an assignment that requires you to compare two different authors on the topic of education
and select and defend one as better. Now add to this scenario that your professor clearly prefers one author
to the other. While critical thinking can get you as far as identifying the similarities and differences
between these authors and evaluating their merits, it is creative thinking that you must use if you wish to
challenge your professor’s opinion and invent new perspectives on the authors that have not previously
been considered.
So, what can we do to develop our critical and creative thinking skills? Although many students
may dislike it, group work is an excellent way to develop our thinking skills. Many times I have heard from
students their disdain for working in groups based on scheduling, varied levels of commitment to the group
or project, and personality conflicts too, of course. True - it’s not always easy, but that is why it is so
effective. When we work collaboratively on a project or problem we bring many brains to bear on a
subject. These different brains will naturally develop varied ways of solving or explaining problems and
examining information. To the observant individual we see that this places us in a constant state of back
and forth critical/creative thinking modes.
