What is creativity in education and how can we facilitate and assess it? In this module we explore the value of creativity in education, how it manifests and can be facilitated in different disciplines including how we can assess it. The module draws on research and practice within the arts, social sciences and science educational research. It is taught by a team of specialists in creativity, the arts and interdisciplinarity in relation to education. You will develop your understanding of accounts of creativity with particular reference to key theoretical approaches and will explore pedagogical issues for creativity in learning and teaching, including assessment. The module includes a focus on theory, policy and practice and gives you opportunities to discuss these with reference to varied disciplinary, cultural and educational contexts.
This module is suitable for specialist or non-specialist students. It can be tailored to contribute towards the Creative Arts and Technology, Creativity and Thinking programmes. There are no pre-requisites modules.
