#profchat Pleasant good evening to all! Stephan, academic coordinator and lecturer based in Rio de Janeiro.

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:10 PM EST

@stephwurking Hi Stephan! Nice to have you here as we discuss creativity! #profchat

scott_dellosso Feb 23 @ 8:11 PM EST

A1 Here is my favorite definition of the #creative process #profchat https://t.co/BFXLWqKDuH

philosophypaul Feb 23 @ 8:11 PM EST

@jweeble Q2 On the Likert scale of 1 to 10 #creativity is 11. Ability to think, have a voice, do critical reflection #profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:11 PM EST

@scott_dellosso This is also a great definition of the process! #profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:13 PM EST

@philosophypaul I agree - creativity is the piece that takes a summary to synthesis...creates the connections that aren't visible! #profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:14 PM EST

Q3: Can creativity be taught? #creativity #profchat

jblazz4 Feb 23 @ 8:14 PM EST

@jweeble different, new, fresh ideas/activities that appear to be creativity but are variety too #profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:15 PM EST

@jblazz4 I like that you frame activities AND ideas as creative! #profchat

philosophypaul Feb 23 @ 8:16 PM EST

@jweeble A Taught? Yes, modeled, prompted. No, creative potential lies within each. If teaching is allowing, yes #profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:17 PM EST

@cpoagewyo1 Hi Cheryl! Welcome to #profchat creativity opening doors to learning is an interesting way of thinking of it!

stephwurking Feb 23 @ 8:17 PM EST

A1: Creativity is different thinking to do things differently or unexpectedly. #profchat https://t.co/NJVHqYbRZn

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:04 PM EST

Here we go! Q1: What is #creativity to you? #profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:18 PM EST

@philosophypaul so modeling and prompting, facilitating and allowing more so than instruction? #profchat

cherisemcb Feb 23 @ 8:18 PM EST

@jweeble Hi #Profchat can't stay for long but I wanted to drop in and say hello! Missing the crew this semester

jblazz4 Feb 23 @ 8:18 PM EST

A3 I think creativity can be cultivated be there needs to be a sprout of desire and motivation #profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:19 PM EST

Q4: Is creativity important in teaching and/or student learning? #creativity #profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:19 PM EST

@jblazz4 Do you have ways of identifying that it is there? #profchat

philosophypaul Feb 23 @ 8:19 PM EST

Facilitate #creativity #profchat https://t.co/ULcBzCWD8w

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:18 PM EST

@philosophypaul so modeling and prompting, facilitating and allowing more so than instruction? #profchat

kolorkid Feb 23 @ 8:19 PM EST

Hi! Just joining #profchat Glad to be here for a little bit. A4: creativity often leads to problem solving skills, so very important

MU_Peter Feb 23 @ 8:20 PM EST

@jweeble Encouraged, fostered nurtured perhaps. taught? I don't think so. Yet everyone has potential. Some ppl it comes natural #profchat

stephwurking Feb 23 @ 8:20 PM EST

@callmemrmorris Wassup, bro? Looking forward to your creative answers. #profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:20 PM EST

@kolorkid HI! welcome - glad to have you for a moment! Yes - the intangible jump to a solution! #profchat

philosophypaul Feb 23 @ 8:21 PM EST

@jweeble A4 Creativity enables Ss to discover, develop voice, synthesize. Prepare to create on demand #profchat

callmemrmorris Feb 23 @ 8:21 PM EST

@stephwurking Yes, brother. I will be jumping in and on around 8:30..got some work to finish first #profchat

cherisemcb Feb 23 @ 8:21 PM EST

@jweeble for faculty: super important, in order to balance all the demands. For Ss its not always as clear. #profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:21 PM EST

@MU_Peter at least some are able to express it easily? #profchat

MU_Peter Feb 23 @ 8:22 PM EST

@jweeble Essential. Vital. Without it you will lose the energizing & motivating power you should be giving your students #profchat

jblazz4 Feb 23 @ 8:22 PM EST

@jweeble not specifically, I feel like I just sense it in some students with different lessons... Do you have any? #profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:23 PM EST

@MU_Peter Agreed! How do you share this with your students? #profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:23 PM EST

Q5: How do you assess or evaluate creativity? #profchat #creativity

philosophypaul Feb 23 @ 8:23 PM EST

Creativity energizes and motivates. Yes. #profchat https://t.co/BYSQ7Um2ar

MU_Peter Feb 23 @ 8:22 PM EST

@jweeble Essential. Vital. Without it you will lose the energizing & motivating power you should be giving your students #profchat

MU_Peter Feb 23 @ 8:24 PM EST

@jweeble Nothing forced or artificial. be yourself and share your passion honestly. #profchat

lfayala2272 Feb 23 @ 8:25 PM EST

A4 vital if by creativity we mean gathering relevant data and proposing ideas on top of them #profchat

#profchat #Q4 education is purposeless without creativity

philosophypaul Feb 23 @ 8:26 PM EST

@jweeble A5 Creativity can be assessed by novelty, timeliness, profitability, progress, and investment of pleasure versus pain #profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:27 PM EST

@philosophypaul is it measureable however? #profchat

stephwurking Feb 23 @ 8:28 PM EST

A5: By testing the ability to solve problems and ask more questions. #profchat https://t.co/bV7xzigFqM

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:23 PM EST

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:29 PM EST

Q6: How does creativity impact your research? #profchat #creativity

philosophypaul Feb 23 @ 8:29 PM EST

@jweeble Reply: Measurable in #creativity's artifacts? Yes. #profchat

kolorkid Feb 23 @ 8:29 PM EST

A5: Eval creativity against novelty, non-standards, or transferability, but sometimes it is subjective; is quant or qual better? #profchat

MU_Peter Feb 23 @ 8:29 PM EST

@jweeble @philosophypaul Qualitative yes I believe. Quantitative, no it's really not objective. results may be measured but not it.#profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:29 PM EST

@MU_Peter How do you determine? I argued with a class they felt ideas were creative because they were new to them -but not others #profchat

yadavaman Feb 23 @ 8:29 PM EST

A5: Not using rubrics to evaluate student work its first step to allow students to show #creativity #profchat

callmemrmorris Feb 23 @ 8:29 PM EST

Creativity in the academy? Isn't that an oxymoron? My thoughts as I work on an article right now! #profchat

callmemrmorris Feb 23 @ 8:30 PM EST

@yadavaman I didn't know that rubrics where still being used beyond freshman courses? #profchat

lfayala2272 Feb 23 @ 8:30 PM EST

A5 mixed feelings...do we need to evaluate creativity or should we just value different ideas? #profchat

callmemrmorris Feb 23 @ 8:31 PM EST

@MU_Peter @jweeble @philosophypaul Quantitative analysis is not objective? #profchat

kolorkid Feb 23 @ 8:31 PM EST

A6: Creativity is essential in parts of research, esp in grant writing-must be creative but rigorous #profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:31 PM EST

definitely subjective in any way measured...its a nebulous area to assess #profchat https://t.co/45oERW5XVy

kolorkid Feb 23 @ 8:29 PM EST

A5: Eval creativity against novelty, non-standards, or transferability, but sometimes it is subjective; is quant or qual better? #profchat

yadavaman Feb 23 @ 8:31 PM EST

@callmemrmorris You would be amazed how many Ss ask for rubrics #profchat

MU_Peter Feb 23 @ 8:31 PM EST

@jweeble Novelty is not it. Fusion, synthesis and "spark" that's how determined #profchat

callmemrmorris Feb 23 @ 8:31 PM EST

@jweeble A6) More focus on THE RESEARCH and less on articles ABOUT the research #profchat

MU_Peter Feb 23 @ 8:32 PM EST

@callmemrmorris @jweeble @philosophypaul No Matthew. Creativity is not. #profchat

callmemrmorris Feb 23 @ 8:32 PM EST

@yadavaman I know! I've seen it. I've heard profs laugh at Ss when that question comes up too! #profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:33 PM EST

@callmemrmorris @yadavaman a checklist or list of criteria is technically a form of a rubric - and many use that #profchat

callmemrmorris Feb 23 @ 8:33 PM EST

@stephwurking Creativity is stepping outside of the canon; doing/writing/thinking on ways that are unique to you as an academic #profchat

callmemrmorris Feb 23 @ 8:34 PM EST

@jweeble @yadavaman Beyond a preferred way to cite all these checklist make the profs job easier and hurt the Ss' creativity #profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:34 PM EST

@lfayala2272 good point - fostering it doesn't have to be a grade #profchat

callmemrmorris Feb 23 @ 8:34 PM EST

@MU_Peter @jweeble @philosophypaul What do you mean? #profchat

stephwurking Feb 23 @ 8:35 PM EST

@callmemrmorris Likewise. Multitasking should be called "creative time management"..#profchat

philosophypaul Feb 23 @ 8:35 PM EST

@callmemrmorris @jweeble @yadavaman Put it here, not there checklists #profchat

callmemrmorris Feb 23 @ 8:35 PM EST

Its stifling to ask Ss to write in a certain way/about a particular singular topic and then expect creativity to come out of that #profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:35 PM EST

I'm new - please tell me it aint' so, Joe! #profchat https://t.co/Fv1djZw4WO

callmemrmorris Feb 23 @ 8:29 PM EST

Creativity in the academy? Isn't that an oxymoron? My thoughts as I work on an article right now! #profchat

callmemrmorris Feb 23 @ 8:36 PM EST

@jweeble A5) Assess creativity by being open to what "value" means to each specific student #profchat

philosophypaul Feb 23 @ 8:36 PM EST

Formative assessment may best foster #creativity #profchat https://t.co/mjYOvyAT7h

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:34 PM EST

@lfayala2272 good point - fostering it doesn't have to be a grade #profchat

callmemrmorris Feb 23 @ 8:36 PM EST

@lfayala2272 I would take it 1 step further: propose those ideas in a way that you see fit #profchat

callmemrmorris Feb 23 @ 8:37 PM EST

@jweeble It is hard to step outside those walls of academy once you are locked in em! #profchat

lfayala2272 Feb 23 @ 8:38 PM EST

Exactly, no need for grading. I've also tried peer formative feedback and works great #profchat https://t.co/C5QpOmiZ6s

The essence of #creativity at its core; your understanding of a smile may be diff from my interpretation #profchat https://t.co/DL05DAk0Xw

MU_Peter Feb 23 @ 8:41 PM EST

@yadavaman @callmemrmorris @jweible how wide a smile is can be measured, not so the happiness that produced it. :-)

callmemrmorris Feb 23 @ 8:46 PM EST

@jweeble A9) Similar to other ways you build culture; let it thrive and validate it when it happens #profchat

jweeble Feb 23 @ 8:46 PM EST

@philosophypaul LOVE #maker movement-making things fosters creativity and expression-demonstrate multiple ways of knowing #profchat
