THE C.R.E.A.M STRATEGY FOR LEARNING

Creativity is especially important for generating ideas in the early stages of new assignments. You can use more logical approaches later, to evaluate which creative ideas to use. There are issues that prevent creativity such as ‘it’s a waste of time’, ‘It’s childish’, ‘I can’t’, ‘I’m not creative’, ‘It’s not logical’, ‘There’s a right way of doing this’ and ‘There’s a time for work and a time for play’. On the other hand, there are some approaches that foster creativity, such as: ‘Play and later thinking’; select any two random subjects, such as a cup and plant.
