摘要:Studies on critical thinking have often focused on the provision of guiding questions. However, in the inculcation of systemic and creative thinking, scaffolding has to extend beyond the provision of guiding questions. This paper aims to help students to think systemically and creatively by learning from examples and generating their own ideas without mechanically substituting from the examples learnt; guiding them to elaborate on their ideas meaningfully; and guiding them to consider other alternatives while maintaining associations between these alternatives (parts) to the goal (whole). Concepts from the learning and decision sciences are applied. Findings from a study on 123greetings.com indicate positive generation, elaboration, evaluation, reflection and association of concepts culminating in systemic and creative decision-making.
