Creative thinking: Skill development framework. 2nd edition
Full text linkThe Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) has reviewed the extensive literature on creative thinking and developed both a definition and a framework that synthesises and harmonises existing theory and research on creative thinking.

It outlines creative thinking processes along prescribed strands and aspects informed by a sound evidentiary basis. The aspects contained within the framework are designed to provide foci for teaching and the basis of assessment.

A main aim of this framework is to support the development of assessments that can be delivered in the classroom and support teachers in developing and evaluating students’ creative thinking skills
