Creativity and critical thinking are fundamental skills for students to develop and thrive in the 21st century. The objectives of eduLab21 on this topic are:
- To develop an assessment for creativity and critical thinking for formative purposes in the classroom;
- To ensure that the assessments we work on incorporate advanced measurement approaches and provides greater reliability, utility, and robustness;
- To derive feedback reports from the use of the assessments with specific interactive support according to the target audience;
- To create sets of pedagogical activities that, when used with the rubrics, promote the development of these skills in school;
- To publicize the book “21st Century Skills: Critical Thinking and Creativity – Review of Evidence and Recommendations”;
- To identify and collect a set of best practices from teachers;
- To make available the report “Fostering Students’ Creativity and Critical Thinking” by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which describes the experience of 11 countries in developing and assessing creativity and critical thinking, including Brazil.
