Creative thinking

Creative thinking involves students generating and applying new ideas in specific contexts, interpreting existing situations in a new way, identifying alternative explanations, or making new links that generate a positive outcome. 

This may include: 

 synthesising and analysing information to make inferences 

 assessing the relevance and significance of ideas to the context 

 sharing and evaluating new ideas; and 

 applying dispositions such as inquisitiveness, and a flexibility to try new ways of doing things.
