Instructional Strategies to Support Creativity and Innovation in Education

“…The model was to enhance creative problem solving abilities for instructional media production of pre-service teachers had five input factors: 1) content, 2) learners, 3) instructors/assistant instructors, 4) technologies used in teaching and learning, and 5) assessment and evaluation (Kanchanachaya, 2012). The teacher training process was to enhance teacher competency in educational innovation and information technology that composed of four components: 1) people in a teacher network, 2) a teacher competency in educational innovation and information technology, 3) technology tools, and 4) evaluation (Chitcharoen, 2014). A digital storytelling design model using concept map on blog to enhance creative thinking of undergraduate students that consisted of six elements: 1) motivation, 2) objectives, 3) contents, 4) experience, 5) activities, and 6) evaluations (Thanajun, 2012).…”

“…The output was creative problem solving abilities (Kanchanachaya, 2012). The development phase composed of four steps: 1) increases knowledge, 2) design stage to actual implementation, 3) join the network, and 4) to share the experience (Chitcharoen, 2014). A digital storytelling design model using concept map on blog to enhance creative thinking of undergraduate students that consisted of seven steps: 1) preparing students, 2) analyze, 3) brainstorm, 4) creation and improvement, 5) presentation, 6) evaluation, and 7) publicity (Thanajun, 2012).…”

“…The findings of the study showed that this learning model could enhance creative problem solving abilities. Chitcharoen (2014) proposed a teacher training approach to enhance teacher competency in educational innovation and information technology course for pre-service teacher education. The teacher training process composed of 4 components: 1) people in a teacher network, 2) a teacher competency in educational innovation and information technology, 3) technology tools, and 4) evaluation.…”
