Creative Contradictions in Education is a provocative collection of
essays by international experts who tackle difficult questions
about creativity in education from a cross-disciplinary
perspective. The contributors to this volume examine and provide
fresh insights into the tensions and contradictions that
researchers and educators face when attempting to understand and
apply creativity in educational contexts. Creativity
in education is surrounded by many contradictions. Teachers
generally value creativity, but question the role it can and should
play in their classroom. Many educators find themselves
feeling caught between the push to promote students’ creative
thinking skills and the pull to meet external curricular mandates,
increased performance monitoring, and various other curricular
constraints. This book brings together leading experts who provide
fresh, cross-disciplinary insights into how creative contradictions
in education might be addressed. Contributors will draw from
existing empirical and theoretical work, but push beyond “what
currently is” and comment on future possibilities. This includes
challenging the orthodoxy of traditional conceptions of creativity
in education or making a case for maintaining particular
orthodoxies.
