CREATIVE & DIVERGENT THINKING - SYNTHESIS


• PISA Creative Thinking Framework - internationally acclaimed educators' foundation framework for developing and testing creativity

(...and this is the stupidity what we are up against, boys and girls!!!)


• CoRT Thinking Skills

This set of tools from the Cognitive Research Trust are simple tools that allow students to think widely, promote deeper reflection, and avoid simple or impulsive answers. They require very little preparation once learned and force the learner to take control of their learning.

These are formalised design thinking tools that all designers are very familiar with, but can be applied to any situation.
