5. ### Creative Research Methods Overview 1. **Participatory Action Research (PAR)**: Collaborative research where participants are co-researchers, common in community development and education. 2. **Ethnography/Autoethnography**: Immersive study of cultures or personal experiences, used in anthropology and sociology. 3. **Arts-Based Research (ABR)**: Uses artistic processes (e.g., painting, theater) for inquiry, popular in education and social work. 4. **Narrative Inquiry**: Focuses on collecting and analyzing personal stories, used in psychology and healthcare. 5. **Visual Methods**: Utilizes photography, video, and drawing for data collection and analysis, common in sociology and anthropology. 6. **Digital Methods**: Employs online platforms and social media for research, increasingly used in media studies. 7. **Photovoice**: Participants use photography to document issues, fostering discussion and action, often in public health. 8. **Embodied Methods**: Involves physical practices like dance to explore human experience, used in performance studies. ### Benefits: - Deep, nuanced understanding of complex experiences. - Greater participant engagement. ### Challenges: - Subjectivity and difficulty in standardization. - Requires specific skills (e.g., art, performance).

6. ### Five Evidence-Based Steps to Creativity and Innovation **1. Distinguish Between Creativity and Innovation:** **Creativity**: Focus on idea generation in an open, non-judgmental environment. Quantity over quality. Suspend hierarchies and titles. **Innovation**: Refine and shape ideas to meet strategic goals. Reintroduce structure and critical thinking. Clearly define whether the team is in the creativity or innovation phase. **2. Get the Right People in the Room:** - Prioritize diversity beyond surface level (e.g., values, worldviews). Pair contrasting thinkers (e.g., big-picture vs. detail-oriented) to spark creativity. - Avoid recruiting only those similar to you. Involve people from different departments to gain new perspectives. **3. Foster a Safe, Trusting Environment:** - Encourage open communication and eliminate fear of judgment. Trust is key to free-flowing creativity. **4. Balance Structure and Flexibility:** - Provide guidelines but allow flexibility in how ideas are generated and refined. Adapt the level of structure to the phase (creativity vs. innovation). **5. Focus on Asking the Right Questions:** - Move away from traditional linear teaching methods. Encourage non-linear thinking by asking different, unexpected questions to break free from conventional paradigms
