General overview of how to implement it

The 3-2-1 technique is a straightforward method for framing a subject or undertaking such that it seems accessible and ‘fast.’ This implies that there is the potential for increased student involvement as well as a wider variety of applications in the classroom for teachers. In addition to being a straightforward method for fostering critical thinking, it also enables students to reflect on the significance of the creativity technique they have used. The 3-2-1 sequence does not carry substantial promise on its own; but, its capacity to frame the potential of other methods does hold significant potential. Learners are required to respond in the following ways throughout this kind of assessment:

  • Three aspects about my mindset that the unique creativity technique that was employed assisted me to modify
  • Two illustrations of the influence it had on my mindset
  • One observation I’ve made regarding my frame of mind today, in relation to my mindset either before, during, or after the teacher applied the creativity technique

After you have gathered all of the learner’s replies, the next and most critical step is to go back and look at what the learners really said. You may make use of this information to help with the creation of future teaching methods and to assess if any of the content needs to be presented in a different way.
