Consultant: Children taught using innovative new educational methods learn to think more creatively than children taught using rote methods such as drills, but they are less adept at memorizing large amounts of information.
Conclusion (So)
Grodex should probably conduct its employee-training seminars using these innovative methods.
Evidence
Most jobs at Grodex require thinking creatively but don't require being great at memorizing.
Children taught using these innovative new educational methods learn to think more creatively than children taught using rote methods, but they are less adept at memorizing.
Evaluate
The blank is prefaced by a Support Indicator, because, so we know that we're supposed to pick an answer that would strengthen the claim before it.
Our correct answer should make it more plausible that Grodex should use these new methods in employee-training.
We already know that what the methods are good at (teaching creativity) is more important to most jobs at Grodex than what the methods are bad at (teaching memorization). So it makes sense that this author would see these methods as a good fit for most Grodex jobs.
But let's be skeptical. What could be a reason not to implement these methods?
- maybe they're cost prohibitive
- maybe the people who conduct employee-training seminars don't have the ability to employ these innovative methods well
- maybe these methods work to promote creativity in whatever context the children are using them in, but that wouldn't transfer over to the type of creativity needed for a Grodex job
- maybe even though most jobs at Grodex value creativity more than memorization, the employee-training seminars are more about memorizing policies than about thinking creatively.
Goal
This correct answer could really come from any number of directions. We want it to add another reason for Grodex to adopt these methods in its employee-training, or to rule out an objection to Grodex adopting these methods for employee-training.
