Creative Cognitive Processes in Higher Education

Abstract: This paper explores whether or not students in higher education settings are using creative cognitive processes, how these processes are related to deep approaches to learning, and in what types of settings and students these processes are most prevalent.

“…The world requires that ordinary citizens and social, political, scientific, and technological leaders alike develop skills to solve problems creatively, in the face of rapid and constant changes with their unpredictability and inherent risks. These characteristics involve not only the need for adjustment but also the ability to anticipate the advent of future innovations (MacLaren, ; Miller & Mumford, ). Thus, convergent, logical and analytical thinking has to be employed when resolving current problems, without neglecting, however, divergence, critical abilities, and a futuristic perspective (Guerra & de Abreu, ; Woythal, ).…”

“…Porém, no início do séc. XXI, não só se exclama a importância da criatividade, mas se lhe reclama um estatuto de imprescindível, dadas as aceleradas e imprevisíveis transformações que o mundo impõe, ao cidadão comum e à liderança dos contextos socio-político e científico-tecnológico: não haverá forma de lidar eficazmente com tal mundo sem competências de resolução criativa de problemas (Miller e Mumford, 2014).…”

“…Face a estas preocupações, os docentes deverão ter eles próprios uma conceção correta de criatividade e da sua importância para a formação superior dos alunos, o que nem sempre acontece . Deverão, assim, ser agentes de mudança no sentido de práticas mais próximas da promoção de uma resolução criativa de problemas, como foi comentado na introdução deste artigo, para que a universidade esteja mais próxima do futuro (Miller & Dumford, 2014) …”

“…Como refere McWilliam (2008, p. 267), "a posição do aluno aos pés do guru" é indefensável numa era digital e global, tendo a universidade a missão de treinar a capacidade de editar a realidade. Também a avaliação sumativa, coerente com a lecionação transmissiva, é um dos elementos mais prejudiciais à criatividade no ensino superior (Balchim, 2007;Miller & Dumford, 2014).…”
