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, please help us!4 Original material by Thomas J.

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.
