Abstract

Creative thinking is essential to learning and individual growth. Understanding how to foster this essential skill in educational settings is critical, especially in an era where artificial intelligence can act as a creative proxy. This study examined the role of teaching creative thinking and problem-solving in higher education, offering considerations to the proliferation of artificial intelligence accessibility. Through a qualitative analysis of 391 student reflections from two courses, one at a public flagship university's School of Journalism and Mass Communications in the South and a second at a private small liberal arts college (SLAC)’s School of Communication in the Northeast, the research offers an examination of distinct student cohorts from two courses over five years on student perceptions of creative education in the U.S. The findings support the efficacy of creative courses in preparing students to thrive in any discipline in the age of AI, highlighting the importance of creative education in a world increasingly influenced by evolving technologies.
