商品簡介
Treffinger, Schoonover, and Selby, who are associated with the Center for Creative Learning, help educational administrators and specialists, teachers, and community leaders nurture creativity in learners in any setting. They outline a set of concepts, principles, and terms related to creativity and innovation, and discuss myths and misunderstandings, definitions used to explain creativity and innovation, and reasons they are important for education. They introduce a framework for understanding the foundations of creativity in education, which is made up of personal characteristics, operations, context, and outcomes, and address practical questions and resources, such as measurement concepts and assessment. They describe how to foster creativity through eight guidelines, how to teach tools for creative and critical thinking, creativity and problem-solving models and their instructional implications, specific educational programs, problems and challenges, and the role of mentoring, working with at-risk students, technology, and linking creativity to curriculum content and standards.
