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)
