Educating for Creativity & Innovation: A Comprehensive Guide for Research-Based Practice
Today, more than ever before, we must all be able to think creatively, manage change, and solve complex, open-ended problems. Education today is different in its structure and practice than it was in any previous generation, not just because of the impact of technology and the Internet, but also because, across the lifespan, every person studies, works, and plays in a global community that was previously unknown to most generations. Although orga…

Creative Problem Solving (CPS): Powerful Tools for Managing Change and Developing Talent
Creative Problem Solving (CPS) offers a powerful, practical set of tools for people of all ages to learn and apply. In educational settings, CPS is valuable for adults and for students to empower individuals and groups to think creatively and critically, deal with complex, open-ended problems, and manage change; CPS also plays a role in promoting talent recognition and development. This article describes the foundations for understanding the CPS …
Recapturing at-Risk, Talented High-School Dropouts: A Summary of the Three-Year Lost Prizes Project
Lost Prizes, a tri-district project designed to “reckim”at-risk, talented high-school dropouts, ran from September, 1993, through June, 1996. Their talents notwithstanding, the young people in question were basically “doing nothing and going nowhere.” Through career exploration, individualgrowthplans, mentoring experiences with business partners, and Creative Problem Solving training, the flexible, off-site program attempted to help these at-risk…
Teachers' Attitudes and Practices in Teaching Creativity and Problem-Solving to Economically Disadvantaged and Minority Children
Ammons and Ammons (1962a, 1962b) evaluated the reaction of college students, many of whom were prospective teachers, to case history material describing family and life experiences of creative individuals. The students exhibited attitudes indicating that they would not reward and would even suppress, behaviors and environmental conditions which would support the development of creative abilities. The results of the present survey indicate a much …
Evaluation of Components of the Purdue Creative Thinking Program: A Longitudinal Study
This study investigated whether effects of the Purdue Creative Thinking Program (PCTP) were persistent over time. Students were pretested and then instructed for 14 wk. with one of the three PCTP components or a combination. Seven months later, divergent thinking measures were administered to 456 fourth, fifth and sixth grade pupils. For most treatments, no group was significantly better than controls across the outcome variables on the longitudi…
Role of Memory in Divergent Thinking
Tests involving word span, memory for verbal details, memory for visual details, and the Minnesota Tests of Creative Thinking (MTCT) were administered to 63 Ss in grades 4, 5, and 6. IQs were obtained from school records. Only 1 of 8 correlations between IQ and divergent thinking (DT) scores was significant, but 11 of 48 correlations between memory and DT were significant. In stepwise multiple correlation of the memory scores on each DT score, 17…
