4. Todays Learning Objectives We will introduce to you theory
and methods believed to enhance creative problems solving. Give you
example exercises to practice using these approaches.This will help
you to: Develop a mindset for creative problem solving Identify
barriers to creativity Apply creative problem solving
methodsRESEARCH OBJECTIVE: To validate the teaching and methods,

7. Rules for TodayFor the research done today to be valid, we
need some rules so that the experimental set-up is consistent and
comparable with other studies.Rules for the experiment: Each
exercise will last exactly 20 minutes Turn the problem sheet over
so that all members can see it Give the first one-two minutes to
read/understand the task Brainstorm solutions to the task,
remembering to: Voice your ideas out loud Defer judgement Sketch
all of your ideas! As many ideas as you can!! With two minutes left
you will be asked to rate your top idea by placing a red dot next
to the favoured idea. Do not discuss the tasks with other
groups!!!7 Original material by Thomas J. Howard for course 42629
