TEACHING, ASSESSING AND LEARNING CREATIVE AND CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS IN EDUCATION

Considering the growing importance of promoting creativity and critical thinking skills in Higher Education students, ESSSM has integrated the project Teaching, Assessing and Learning Creative and Critical Thinking Skills in Education, promoted by the OECD which brings together a group of institutions from several countries.


OBJECTIVES:

a) To understand how the participating institutions evaluate the skills of creativity and critical thinking;
b) To develop an assessment tool, which can be used internationally, that helps students and teachers to monitor the acquisition of these skills;
c) To create an offer of pedagogical activities, to disseminate good practices in this area and to develop a platform, which allows the sharing of experiences and knowledge on the evaluation of creativity and critical thinking skills.
