| description | In this paper, we proposed and discussed the use of a standards-based criterion-referenced assessment (CRA) approach in scoring originality with a specific focus on teaching for creativity.

Given the importance of using proper assessment methods in fostering and monitoring learning, we believe such an approach might have significant implications for teaching practices and future research. |
