Creativity. A study comparing the drawing ability of children in Xxxxxxx/Waldorf, Montessori and traditional schools concluded that "the approach to art education in Xxxxxxx schools is conducive not only to more highly rated imaginative drawings in terms of general drawing ability and use of color but also to more accurate and detailed observational drawings,"13 while another study found that Waldorf pupils average higher scores on the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking Ability than state-school students.14
Creativity. Creativity is identified as a key element of STEAM activity. Mirroring wider literature in creativity, creativity in STEAM in the sources identified here is linked to innovation and the production of something novel (Xxxxxxx-Xxxx et al, 2017; Xxxx et al, 2017), to playfulness (Xxxxxxxx, 2017) and to the concept of flow (Xxxxx et al, 2021), all of which may be drawn on or developed through STEAM practices. The workshop discussion also highlighted the relationship between problem-solving and open-ended engagement with problems as facets of creativity that can be linked to STEAM practices. Some sources describe creativity or creative thinking as a skill that is developed as a result of engaging in STEAM practices (Xxxxxx and de Bruin, 2018; Xxxxxxxx et al, 2021; Xxxxxxx et al, 2019). Elsewhere, creativity is discussed as a kind of ‘doing’, linked to the ‘thinking-making-doing' theme. Here, tools and pedagogies such as digital technologies (Xxxx-Xxxxxxxxxxxx, 2018; Let’s STEAM, nd) and design thinking (SciCulture, nd) are used creatively as part of STEAM practice. This notion of using creative activities within STEAM is referred to as a means of making connections between disciplines (SciCulture, nd) or in support of collaboration (Xxxxxxxx, 2017). Thus, creativity as a main criteria appears to be seen as both a means of supporting other features of STEAM practices as well as being an outcome that is fostered by those practices. Although not clearly stated as such in any of the sources, one could argue that the connectivity fostered through creative practices in STEAM (Xxxxxxx-Xxxx et al, 2017; Xxxxxxx et al, 2019) is one of the means by which STEAM practice can support the links between secondary and tertiary learning and between schools/universities and communities in Open Schooling.
Creativity. We believe that liberation is a creative process. We are providing a gathering space for artists, performers, cultural producers, and all people to do the creative work of social transformation. We begin by listening. We are cultivating an environment of trust by always being transparent, self-reflective, and responsive to community needs. We are committed to practices, such as solar energy and green infrastructure, that minimize our impact on the environment and cultivate healthy communities for future generations.
Creativity. What might happen if all teachers encouraged students to think creatively and produce creative products? How might these students approach challenges? XXXX believes a key to motivating students and enhancing achievement lies in asking questions that promote critical and creative thinking, encouraging students to use divergent thinking to generate ideas, and in analyzing and evaluating issues and solutions. At RISE creativity will be rooted in design thinking that sparks curiosity, innovation, ideation, elaboration, risk taking, synthesis, connection, and application. Students will be encouraged to build a deep understanding of complex, interdisciplinary, real- world issues through independent and collaborative work on relevant projects involving research, field work, community engagement, oral and written communication, presentation, and other skills.
Creativity. Testing questions Please rate the following statements on a scale: 1 Not at All, 2 Rarely, 3 Sometimes, 4 Often, 5 Very often. 1. I see problems, complaints, and bottlenecks as opportunities rather than as issues. 2. I take time to investigate how things are working, even when there are no current problems. 3. I look for things in my environment to inspire me to find new interpretations of problems. 4. When gathering information about an issue, I explore solutions that have worked elsewhere in the past. 5. When I generate ideas, I evaluate them and I quickly discard ideas that I don't like. Score Interpretation/ Score Comment 5-10 You're unsure of your creative talent. Maybe you haven't been given opportunities to be creative, or maybe you're convinced that you're simply not a creative person. Either way, look for opportunities to improve how you do things, even if you don't have any current problems. You'll be surprised by how creative you can be if you give yourself a chance! 11-19 Your creativity is a "work in progress." You've had some successes, so now it's time to let loose and stretch yourself. Share your ideas and perspectives with others, and ask them how they view problems. Adopt a collaborative approach to problem finding, and work actively with others to create and innovate.

Creativity. A good level of this skill means that creative educators can constantly reinvent them- selves and adapt their teaching styles and strategies to better understand and man- age the diversity of their classroom. Creativity is a cluster of skills that are needed to produce ideas that are both original and valuable. Having this skill means that you are: • able to emphasize process rather than product. • able to allow time for learners to explore all possibilities, moving from popular to more original ideas. • able to come up with real new concepts or solutions • able to ask stimulating questions and to encourage people to think out of the box, norms, values, procedures or practical limitations. • able to apply more than one way to accomplish a task, experiment with op- tions and try out other approaches.
