Creativity Course

Objectives, Skills and Learning Outcomes

Provide the students with the abilities to

• understand the complexity of the creative capacity of a system,
• identify the cognitive abilities and behavior that enable the development of innovative proposals.
• understand the mechanisms and the different phases of the creative process.
• use the systematic heuristic tools with consciousness and flexibility : techniques for problem exploration, methods for idea generation and evaluation techniques.
• participate actively in a creative group.

Program

1. The concept of creativity

• The notion of 'creativity': about terminology and myths.
• Creativity in the perspective of humanistic epistemology: Theories about creative thinking; Parameter of measure of creative thinking; Mental blocks and the importance of perception.

• Basic mechanisms and phases.
• Individual process versus team work
• The CPS model - Creative Problem Solving
• The creative process in the systemic perspective

3. The systematic heuristic of the creative process

• Rules that promote creativity.
• Methods and techniques that stimulate creative thinking: The principals; An overview.
• Techniques of problem exploration: The 'Redefinition of the Problem'; The 'Mind Map'; The 'Functional Analysis'; The 'Morphological Box'.
• Methods of Idea Generation: 'Brainstorming' and the derivatives; 'Synectics' and Analogies; 'Forced Relationship'.
• Evaluation techniques: Intuitive techniques; Matrixes
