Creativity in Schools (eBook, PDF)

Tensions and Dilemmas
Redaktion: Craft, Anna

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The author considers a wide variety of issues and perspectives raised by a new attention on creativity. The book is divided into three sections that focus on: the challenges of fostering creativity in schools; the problems of separating creativity from values; and, the implications for liberal education. Questions raised and considered include: to what extent is creativity a tool; is creativity determined by its subject context; can the demise of creativity be attributed to the technicization of teaching; is there a universal concept of creativity or is it limited by its cultural specificity; how appropriate is the implication that creativity is a good thing for the economy, for society and for education, without reflection on the consequences (i.e. the "throw away" society); and how can teachers encourage students to evaluate the effect of their choices on others.

"It [provides] food for thought and left me wanting to use this in a discussion group with fellow teachers and artists...There is a strong call to study the delicate balance that creativity poses for us both in our own lives and in bringing creativity to life in those we teach. Creativity in Schools: Tensions and Dilemmas is a productive and energizing place to start." --Joanne Toft, Arts for Academic Achievement in Minneapolis Public Schools, Teaching Artist Journal
