Using Creative Assignments to Reinforce Innovation, Problem Solving, Creativity, and Critical-Thinking Skills
Carmen Saunders-Russell
Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, v34 n3 p93-109 2023
The author explains how using creative assignments reinforces invention, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills in undergraduate health administration students. While several studies look at the use of creative assignments to help students develop these skills, few studies exist on their use in health administration. In addition, the use of assignment transparency is explored as a means to explain how integrative learning helps students connect concepts developed in creative assignments to real-world experiences. The author provides a framework for using this method of instruction with today's learners and future healthcare leaders.
