Comments On Collaborative Creative Learning


Comments On Collaborative Creative Learning


I have learned in a diverse group experience that diverse methods of framing the questions are useful because the creative methods described such as connective questions, innovative imitation, learning about something else, creative role models, mental conscious and unconscious time, and questioning everything will provide more examples of diverse methods which will then provide real time examples for practice in future. Collaborative group work implies that it is easier to grasp new ideas by observing and practicing diverse methods simultaneously to grasp the different directions required. I do not think this can be done alone. Certainly time management would often determine the successfuly application of different methods especially curtailed under periods of constraints.


The task felt easier a second time around while the methods introduced such as locksmiths, lists, proverbs, expanding the question and SCAMPER appear slightly more complex. At the same time familiarity sometimes breeds comfort. A second possibility illustrates that one may become more adaptable and interested in applying concepts of managerial creativity the more one immerses oneself in the practical application of the precepts introduced here. In addition the collaborative mode is already introduced and the second round is a functional substitution exercise within the same parameters of the first attempt. So the setting is quite familiar and the tasks are varied. These are methods generally accepted which encourage cognitive adult learning.
