UPSKILL MICRO-CREDENTIAL
Creative and Critical Thinking (CCT)
When you hear the words creative thinking, what is the first thing that comes to mind? For many of us, our mind goes immediately to things like music, painting, creative writing, and other forms of artistic expression. Some people also think that we are either born with natural creative talent or we aren’t, and that this can’t change.
Creative thinking is actually the ability to look at things in different ways. This might involve painting a masterpiece or writing an original piece of music. But it can also involve looking at problems through different lenses and perspectives, seeing problems as opportunities for change or growth, examining and reimagining existing solutions, coming up with new solutions, combining existing ideas to come up with something new, developing and testing theories and ideas, and much more. To use an old cliché, creative thinking is ‘thinking outside the box’.
