ABSTRACT

Creativity is core to thinking around evidence to find new ways of seeing, making links and providing new solutions to problems. Great thinking comes from being inquisitive, curious, flexible and persistent. University education in its broadest sense involves helping students to develop their full potential. Being able to explain in a job interview where Students are comfortable and confident in being creative and innovative is almost certainly going to be viewed positively. Creativity involves generating new ways of thinking and doing. Bloom’s taxonomy classifies thinking, placing creativity as the most advanced level. Essentially creativity involves using Students' imagination to develop new ideas and new ways of doing things, thinking laterally. Most people agree that being creative through brainstorming, idea dumping, mind mapping, exchanging thoughts and concepts is more fun in a group. Critical thinking involves working through for oneself, afresh, a problem; in that sense it is a creative process.
