Introduction
It has been said that we live in the VUCA world – Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous. Creative individuals will cope well in the VUCA world, due to their capacity to think of original solutions to complex and challenging problems. At the same time, via incremental improvement or radical transformation of the VUCA world they live in, creative individuals can live happy, enriched and meaningful lives in society.
This module infuses its participants with relevant KSAOs (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities and Others) to nurture creative and happy learners in the Singapore context. It achieves this goal by immersing participants in the theoretical and empirical research on creativity and happiness. By mastering this psychological domain of knowledge, participants will become skillful facilitators of creative and happy learners in the classroom, and thereby prepare their students for living and thriving in the VUCA world.
