Critical Thinking narrows and creative thinking expands, but they must work in tandem for Complex problem solving to occur.
According to McMaster University's Faculty of Humanities, "in a world of smartphones and google, it seems we can find answers in an instant-the greatest challenge is to ask the right questions, recognizing that how we ask a question determines the nature of the answers available to us. Effective leaders are constantly formulating creative questions, about themselves and about the world around them. Working in the technology-enriched environment of an active learning classroom, students will focus on how to ask good questions about specific issues and how to use those questions to interrogate the evidence in different ways." This is what students will strive for in the Social & Global Studies courses. *
