Abstract

[This chapter looks at this research literature on creativity as it is drawn on in the field of education. While there have been quite a number of authors engaged in the pursuit of the relationship between creativity and education, not the least of which is Vygotsky, we have concentrated on a few here to get some sense of what this field has been doing in this regard. Some, such as Feldman and Benjamin in the US, argue that the research into creativity has impacted education only slightly, while others insist there is a strong, dynamic and fluid conversation occurring across these two bodies of research. For example, Pamela Burnard from Cambridge University in the UK suggests there has been a revival of interest in research into the scholarship around creativity in education. She cites eminent creativity researchers like Csikszentmihalyi, Runco and Sternberg as having an interest in education. She also includes the educational work of Anna Craft in this list as one who has both stimulated and taken part in debates on creativity and education. Many in the educational field, including Anne Harris, appreciate the work done by Anna Craft, and others, in pursuing educational scholarship on creativity.]
