Can Students Learn to be More Creative? 

Many researchers now think that all students can learn how to be more creative. Some schools teach their students to work through the steps of Donald Treffinger’s Creative Problem-Solving method. 

This method consists of the following stages: 

- fact-finding 

- problem-finding 

- idea-finding or generating as many different ideas as possible 

- solution-finding or evaluating which solution would work best 

- developing a plan of action.

 

All creative students will have successful careers after they leave school.

If schools only fill students' heads with information, they might never learn to be creative problem-solvers.

Research shows that students who practice creative problem-solving become more creative.

If more students learn how to be creative, we have more chance of finding creative solutions to the problems currently facing today's society.

Can you think of some reasons why schools should teach their students to be more creative?

Multiple choice question

According to Edward de Bono, creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way. De Bono and other experts think that everyone can learn to be more creative. They have developed a range of techniques for increasing people's creativity.

This exercise introduces a tool called SCAMPER, developed by Robert Eberle. This tool is a set of questions you can ask yourself to help you think of new ideas.

SCAMPER stands for:

Substitute: What can I use instead of what I always use? 

Combine: What can I combine or put together to do something in a new way? 

Adapt: How can I change this? 

Modify or Magnify: What can I add or make bigger? 

Put to alternative uses: How can I use this differently? 

Eliminate or Minimize: What can I reduce, remove or make smaller? 

Reverse or Rearrange: What can be rearranged in some way?

Creating something new is not easy. This exercise gives you questions that can help you change something that already exists into something unique.
