Course Description
“Creativity is seeing what others see and thinking what no one else ever thought.” Albert Einstein
The interaction of the physical and social learning environment, teacher and student attitudes and characteristics, and a clear problem-solving process that results in a perceivable output constitute creativity. Creativity can be encouraged through the promotion of critical thinking, collaboration, and risk-taking. Critical thinking allows students to develop an understanding of a concept or problem by analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information.
Critical thinking involves questioning the assumptions of existing knowledge, recognizing the different perspectives and implications of a problem, and applying insight to come up with innovative solutions.
This Erasmus+ Ka1 course is for teachers who wish to understand and apply the latest teaching strategies for developing their students’ creative and critical thinking skills
