"There is no absolute judgement [on creativity] All judgements are comparisons of one thing with another." (Donald Larning)
Themes and Questions
1. Is creativity an internal cognitive function, or is it an external social or cultural phenomenon?
2. Is creativity a pervasive, ubiquitous feature of human activity, or a special faculty, either reserved for particular groups, individuals, or particular domains of activity, in particularly artistic activity?
3. Is creativity an inevitable social good, invariably progressive, harmonious and collaborative; or is it capable of disruption, political critique and dissent, and even anti-social outcomes?
4. What does the notion of creative teaching and learning imply?
Benaji, Burn and Buckingham (2006)
