Critical thinking encompasses the subject’s ability to process and
synthesise information in such a way that it enables them to
apply it judiciously to tasks for informed decision-making and
effective problem-solving.

• Creative thinking is defined as the thinking that enables
students to apply their imagination to generating ideas,
questions and hypotheses, experimenting with alternatives,
and to evaluating their own and their peers’ ideas, final
products and processes.

• Criticality assesses; Creativity originates.
Critical and creative thought are both
achievements of thought.
• In critical thinking we assess thinking to
make improvements. In creative thinking
we generate thinking based on our sense
of how to make things better.

• Thus critical thinking has a
creative component: to
produce a better product of
thought, And creative thinking
has a critical component: to
reshape thinking in keeping
with criteria of excellence.
• Critical thinking without a
creative output is merely
negative thinking.
• Creative thinking without a
critical component is merely
novel thinking.

• Identifies gaps in knowledge
• Discriminates amongst information
• Identifies patterns and makes connections
• Applies logic
• Identifies assumptions and motivations
• Justifies arguments
• Identifies criteria for decision-making
• Evaluates options
• Tests and monitors implementation

Creativity and critical
thinking can be
promoted through all
school subjects,
curriculum areas, and
especially in cross-
curricular activities.

learning spaces
The way space is designed has
a significant impact on creative
thinking and learning. Learning
spaces can bring people
together and encourage their
interaction and creative
collaboration.

ended questions
Open-ended questions help
students develop creative
thinking by applying, analysing,
evaluating and synthesizing
information and knowledge.

Engage learners in
meaningful, challenging and
authentic activities;
these are more likely to
generate interest and
engagement.

• Make efficient use of
educational technologies
Educational technologies
enable communication and
collaboration, and open up a
range of profoundly new ways
of using and creating
information and knowledge
inside and outside the school.

Allow for mistakes and
sensible risk-taking
Create a caring and
encouraging learning
environment where students
feel free and safe to
experiment with new ideas and
take sensible risks.

thinnking
