Creative+VS+Critical+Thinking

=Combing Critical Thinking with Creative Thinking= >>>
 * Many educators understand critical thinking within the context of problem solving using higher-order thinking skills (i.e. [|applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating]).
 * [|National Council for Excellence in Critical Thinking](1987) defines critical thinking as:
 * a set of information and belief generating and processing skills
 *  the habit, based on intellectual commitment, of using those skills to guide behavior.
 * Critical thinking is not:
 * acquisition and retention of information alone,
 * possession of a set of skills
 * use of those skills without acceptance of their results.
 * While creative thinking/creativity is distinctly different from critical thinking, both are skills that 21st century citizens need to be successful ([|Treffinger et al., 2006])
 * Researchers in creativity have combined creativity and critical thinking processes.
