Baker Pattillo Student Center
Does the best idea occur early or late in the critical and creative productive thinking training process?
Are these stages a route to being a critical and creative productive thinker?
What are the long-term effects of training in critical and creative thinking?
Historically, creativity researchers have implied that in cases of creative production, definite steps or states are involved and that this is the creative process. Is one able to work through these stages of creative productive thinking training without mastery of the elements of critical thinking?
This presentation uses a research model to analyze contextual stages and their practical implications for creativity training models.
