Developing Creative Problem Solvers Using Inquiry–based Instructional Strategies in an Aviation Curriculum
Year: 2016
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The aviation industry has a need for innovators and problem solvers. An educator’s role is to develop students with the proper knowledge, skills, and abilities to meet those needs. However, the students must be intrinsically motivated toward these pursuits in order to be effective, and educators should not introduce factors that discourage creativity and inquisitiveness. This theory–oriented paper identifies the specific skills that students should master and offers a model of instruction that encourages creativity through research, along with recommendations for improvements to the curriculum. Finally, the author provides a select bibliography of strategies for implementing inquiry, creativity, and research activities.
