This chapter provides an overview of the programs offered by the International Center for Studies in Creativity (ICSC) at Buffalo State, State University of New York, where creativity is taught and studied extensively at the graduate and undergraduate level. Following the discussion on creativity as a 21st century skill and perennial need for creativity in the workforce, programs and courses are introduced along with the historical roots and philosophy of creativity at ICSC. The Creative Problem Solving Model, which represents the core of the curriculum, is described. The chapter also presents the results of the study regarding the impact of the graduate program on the creative problem solving attitudes of the graduate students based on qualitative and quantitative data.

The aim of this study is to enhance students’ creative problem-solving ability using a project-based learning approach. The study was based on a quasi-experimental design and the participants were 69 postgraduate students in the field of education management. There were 35 of the students assigned to the experimental group, and the remaining 34 to the control group. The experiment was conducted over 15 classes for 2 months. A creative problem-solving questionnaire was used as a pre-test and post-test before and after the experiment. The results showed that the students’ creative problem-solving ability had been effectively enhanced by the intervention of project-based learning, especially in terms of identifying problems, finding solutions and evaluating them.

Objectives of this research study were to investigate the correlation and forecast the independent variables of the correlation of opinions regarding open learning, collaboration, creative problem solving and usage level of teaching and learning media for graduate students in Thailand. It was a quantitative research study which used a questionnaire to collect data. The question items in the instrument were check listed and a rating scale was established which had been approved for validity by an expert. The samples consisted of 419 higher education students from 16 universities using correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. Research Findings 1 determined: Open learning was positively related to team working and willingness to work with others, group discussion behaviors, usage of teaching and learning media, and creative problem solving abilities. The highest results included the correlation of group discussion and creative problem solving abilities at 609**. Finding 2 included: Applied statistics methods including coefficient correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze open learning, group behavior, usage of teaching and learning media, creative problem solving abilities and resulted with the forecast equation showing creative problem solving abilities = .524, open learning = +.111, team working = + .317 , duty to work with others = + .099, group discussion behavior = * + .371, usage level of teaching and learning media = +. 087

Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi dengan pentingnya kemampuan berpikir kritis matematis siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: (1)mengetahui apakah model pembelajaran creative problem solvingefektif digunakan untuk kemampuan berpikir kritis matematis siswa; (2) model pembelajaran project based learning efektif digunakan untuk kemampuan berpikir kritis matematis siswa; (3) manakah yang lebih baik antara model creative problem solving dan model project based learning terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis matematis siswa. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian modelQuasi Experimental Designyang dilakukan di SMP Negeri 1 Kendal.  Teknik pengambilan sampel dengan Purposive Sampling dari populasi siswa kelas VIII diperoleh kelas VIII E sebagai kelas eksperimen I dan VIII D sebagai kelas eksperimen II. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan observasi dan tes. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan : (1) model pembelajaran creative problem solving efektif digunakan untuk kemampuan berpikir kritis matematis siswa pada indikator mengidentifikasi fakta yang ada; (2) model pembelajaran project based learning efektif digunakan untuk kemampuan berpikir kritis matematis siswa pada indikator mengidentifikasi fakta yang ada; (3) model pembelajaran project based learninglebih baik dibandingkan model pembelajaran creative problem solving terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis matematis siswa. Jadi kelas yang mendapat model pembelajaran creative problem solving dan model pembelajaran project based learning mencapai ketuntasan secara klasikal dan individual
