Description
Creativity is an important higher order skill but it is hard to measure directly. Various
methods to measure students’ collective creativity are compared and discussed. These methods were applied to students’ design proposals for an own choice experiment in soft matter. After comparison, the most promising quantification of collective creativity was a random probability calculation of the subject distribution. By being able to distinguish smaller changes in collective creativity between years, this new measure will be very helpful in improving future implementations of lab courses to stimulate creativity in students.
