On Thursday 1 July, Kim van Broekhoven successfully defended her PhD thesis on: “From creativity to innovation: Understanding and improving the evaluation and selection of ideas in educational settings”

The aim of the thesis was to gain a deeper understanding of and improve the process of creative idea evaluation and idea selection among students. The 4 P’s were used as a theoretical framework, because students’ ability to recognize and select creative ideas (i.e., product) depends strongly on attitudes, dispositions, feelings, and beliefs (i.e., person), cognitive thinking processes (i.e., process), and is subject to situational constraints (i.e., press).
