FIRST TASK

My initial perspective on the Critical and Creative Thinking concept.

Critical thinking evaluates the veracity of existing events, and creative thinking tries to produce new concepts; Critical thinking is based on principles such as logic and rationality and creative thinking seeks to put into practice traditions and paradigms of society.

Both types of thinking when working together create in the human being skills that allow him to have problems, develop productive analyzes in any type of area and not only that, the imagination takes a very important role in generating original and creative ideas. 
There is evidence that shows that there is an improvement of the students in the performance in the conventional tests when their creative abilities have been enhanced (Amabile, 1996)
For this reason it is important that as a teaching role create environments conducive to critical and creative thinking, because these two raised thoughts encourage reflexive thinking, and an open mind is needed to accept without judging paradigms and beliefs.
