To the aututored, creative and critical thinking often seem to be opposite forms of thought (Elder &

Paul, 2006)

Creative thinking has shifted from being considered a fluffy waste of time to being a critical
management skill (Catling, 2007)

Creativity to Originates, and Critically to Asssesses (Elder & Paul, 2006)

Creative thinking to synthesis, and Critical thinking to evaluation (Elder & Paul, 2006)

Creative thinking involves two components: courage and critical thinking (Gibney, 1998)

Critical thinking has been tied to analysis, reflective thinking and experiential assignments, which
highlight the creative element of critical thinking (Bouland-Davis, 1998)
