An international exploration of creativity as a socio-cultural phenomenon, with practical insights for application in educational settings.



Creativity has become a buzzword across all disciplines in education, from early years through to higher education. Although the meaning of creativity might depend on its cultural context, it is impossible to ignore the applicability and relevance of creativity as an educational tool, philosophical framework, and pedagogical approach.



This collection explores the case studies of ground-breaking work undertaken internationally to support and develop learners with, and for, creativity. The chapters are based on empirical research, which provides the scholarly framework for reconceptualizing creativity in the country-specific context of each study. Each case study is supplemented by critical, reflective, and analytical responses from contributors from different countries, which provide a dialogue for educators into how methods and approaches from a certain context can be transferred, translated, and contextually mediated for different environments.



Creativity in Education thus provides practical insights for application in a wide range of educational settings, as well as philosophical approaches to teacher education, leadership for learning, and creativity as a universal phenomenon.
