“GroupThink”: In what way could we improve this in Education?

It seems to me that most students are afraid of criticism, and are therefore afraid to come forward with their work/idea to be critiqued, mostly due in part to the idea that everyone just wants their work to be appreciated, and loved. Also, it seems that most students who give the criticism will usually follow it with a condescending lecture about the right way to do the project (whether they are aware that they are doing it or not), which tends to make the viewed student feel worse.

I think this process could be improved in Education by simply making sure that students understand not to diliberately hurt each other’s feeling’s over work/ideas, and try offering more as a constructive aid rather than a lecture.

“GroupThink”: What Does the Article Suggest is the Strength Behind the Creative Process?

The Article seems to suggest to me to support the idea of constructive criticism in a  group collaboration as a better method of creation than simply one person working on the objective.

It is given out that Many trials that contained constructive criticism in groups proved more effective than those that did not have constructive criticism, in the respect that for the obstacles/problems that the groups were given, the team that was allowed to use constructive criticism produced more efficient results.

The Strength behind creative process seems stronger if done in groups rather than by one’s self and if there are criticisms to build off of.

This is my Beautiful Project from over Reading Week. You may look at it and say “That’s a poor representation of Beauty” but you have to realize it’s true meaning in order for it to be beautiful; Reach for the Stars.
I created this in photoshop, mainly as just a new background for my computer, because mine was becoming old and boring, but it blossomed into something that i just had to share
There are also about a hundred stars in the background, but for the resize, they just don’t show as well
