Everyone has learned something at some point in their lives, It’s only natural. Except, everyone learns differently, especially younger people and as such, different teaching strategies will be needed to fulfill those differences as individual quirks, that can sometimes pose problems in specific matters. Creative learning although possibly helpful is relatively new and as such inactive in educational spaces. It is believed that creative learning can and will, improve the educational system and help many students who learn differently, function, and excel in school just as effectively as other more conditioned students who have no qualms whatsoever with the way they’re being taught and/or who function well when being instructed in a traditional …show more content…
In this text, It was discovered in a quote that Being creative is one benefit of learning creatively as a general aspect of a person’s personality and it’s relation to people being more “open” than non-creative people. ”The Consistent and significant finding is that creative potential is positively related to openness to experiences.”{Batey And Furham, 2006 Feist. 2010.} This quote directly links creativity and a domain that describes the human personality, which includes intelligence is huge mentally and psychologically when it was discovered. Which further explains in itself that Students being able to learn creatively can come with many …show more content…
As stated in this quote From the same article above “Open people are imaginative and curious, which forms a good basis for creative endeavors across all domains.” This next quote shows the results of some research conducted at a school that provides more evidence that shows the result that comes up when The people who wrote the article test something out in a sort of social experiment.“In secondary school children, a significant correlation between intelligence and creative potential of r = .30 was found while no significant correlations emerged when gifted children were selected (Yamamoto, 1964). In a later study, correlations of r = .50 and r = .20 were reported below and above an IQ threshold of 120, respectively”. This last quote shows that in average children enrolled in school showed signs of increased intelligence when they were innovatively engaged while they were doing it. Which once again proves the Power of creativity, and furthermore just how, Creative Learning should be an option to students who are more inclined toward creativity as a preferred way of learning because it could be a positive way to include children who are often left behind, academically opposed to their counterparts who, react greatly to traditional ways of doing things that are indeed substantial to the progression of their education and frankly their futures, since it clearly improves

In Sir Ken Robinson’s Ted Talk video, he had many major points that relate to the definition and importance of creativity. A major point how creativity is as important in education as literacy. According to Sir Ken Robinson, “we should treat it with the same status. He explains is that education is used to prepare use for the future, but the future is unpredictable.”.
...would be further motivated to love and study their subjects, and not be just thinking only about grades. If all teachers dedicate their human potential to their students, then students wouldn’t be scared to participate in discussions in spite of many stumbling barriers. The issues Ernest Boyer discusses in “Creativity in the Classroom” are of current interest not only in American educational system, but in my country as well. So,I would recommend this article to be discussed at teachers’ meetings in different types of educational institutions because the criteria of successful and creative teaching the author identifies in his article are universal and simple at the same time: just be dedicated to your job, care about your students, and don’t be afraid to learn and use new ideas in your classroom. Hence, creativity in the classroom often begins with a good teacher.
According to Google, creativity is defined as “the use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work.” In his TED Talk, which is one of “the most popular talks of all time”, Sir Ken Robinson discusses how public education systems degrade creativity as an essential component within the academic growth of all students. Robinson is a creativity expert and an author who writes books about creativity in school systems. His expertise in the field of school systems and creativity justifies his opinion on the subject. Robinson concentrates on the significance of creativity by creating a variety of strong arguments. His main contention is that “creativity now is as important in education as literacy” (Robinson).
Creativity is one of the mission of a teacher in every age, and discipline. As he may be creative to motivate students, he has to generate creativity in his pupils. In this way, understanding the relation between the neurobiology of creativity and its cognition is useful to every teacher.
NACCCE definition of creativity: ‘Imaginative activity fashioned so as to produce outcomes that are both original and of value’(NACCCE, 1999:94).Creativity can motivate children to learn new information through a creative outlook. One of the biggest issues teachers have is between teaching required content and integrating creativity into the daily sessions. The National Curriculum and state standard often create boundaries towards the teacher’s ability to develop the lesson, as the intention of including creativity sometimes resorts in a teacher centred learning environment. The teacher’s role should be to generate lessons and create activities that encourage students to be more open to their creative side. This is vital as it exposes children with varying learning styles to different ways of learning.

This goes hand by hand with many of the concepts of Pinar's currere method. Darling-Hammond and Friedlaender state that “By knowing students well, teachers are more able to tailor instruction to students’ strengths, need, experiences, and interest.” As teachers and as academics, it is our responsibility to work towards an improved curriculum and school system together with our colleagues and administrations. As Pinar (1994) writes, “we cannot expect to meaningfully participate in the transformation of the nation and its educational institutions if we fail to authentically participate in the constitution and transformation of ourselves and our work” (p. 74). Ken Robinson gives us a whole view of how creativity plays an important role in schools and in life. In my opinion, we do not learn creativity in a traditional educational classroom. Creativity is more about experiences than it is about knowledge. Even knowledge is still very important, being creative goes beyond the limits because is based in life experiences, culture, needs, and identity as Pinar states in his currere
... goal is for children to become productive citizens in the world. With this being said, it is easy to see why creativity in the classroom is essential to the development of the young child.
Anyone who takes the time to learn, and especially to acquire diverse knowledge, can express great creativity. As said by Vern Burkhardt, “The mythical views that we have about creativity and genius are almost impossible to reconcile with the scientific method” (Burkhardt). In other words, this quote is saying that no science is able to backup that creativity is linked to a higher IQ. So, all in all, anyone who applies themselves to a topic or field can be creative in that matter. You don 't have to be a registered genius to be
To begin with Sir Ken Robinson states that “creativity is the greatest gift of human intelligence” and therefore the education system should help children to realise their creative potential, unfortunately many are being displaced from their own true talents. Formal instructions and inquiry based learning are essential for creative education. There are some times when it is appropriate for the teacher to give formal instruction in skills a...
Herein lies the problem. The children that we are educated are and will be faced with new challenges that current education systems all over the world have been failing to meet. It would seem that structures of mass domain education suppress the innately imprinted creativity found in every living person and widely known specialist on the subject, Sir Ken Robinson, goes as far as saying that we are, “educating people out of their creativity” (Giang, 2013). But if the school system is to make adjustments to explore and cultivate creativity more how are they to do so without losing total structure? Robinson acknowledges this by saying that, “in every creative approach some of the things we’re looking for are hard, if not impossible to quantify. But that doesn’t mean that they don’t matter.”
Since we are born we have imagination and as we grow up this imagination may increase or decrease. Creativity strongly relies in our imagination. Depending on different circumstances people learn to express their creativity openly while other people close themselves and believe they do not have creativity. Creativity is a natural talent that every single human has. Creativity can be used to solve a complex problem in a different manner or just to find innovative ways to have fun. Creativity is thinking out of the box. Even though creativity cannot be taught from scratch there should be a class that is specific for creativity.
