Overview

This session will delve into the fundamental concepts of critical and creative thinking, illuminating how these cognitive processes differ yet complement each other in problem-solving and learning. Participants will examine the importance of nurturing these skills in educational settings, particularly as AI technologies become increasingly prevalent in society and the workforce. In an age where AI can efficiently process information and automate routine tasks, the uniquely human abilities to think critically—evaluating information, questioning assumptions, making judgements—and creatively—generating novel ideas, approaches, and solutions—remain vital. The session will explore how educators can intentionally foster these ‘soft skills’ within the curriculum, using practical strategies and classroom activities.
