Abstract

[At its foundation, this is a book about creativity, but it is also broader than that. It is a constellation of interconnected ideas for thinking, learning, and teaching in the twenty-first century. This constellation of ideas is grounded in timeless ways of knowing, predicated on a set of thinking skills that are rooted in historical exemplars of creativity across disciplines. This book focuses on the construct of transdisciplinary creativity, which is the idea that creativity not only spans the disciplines, but that there are a set of core cognitive skills which span across disciplines, from art to science or music to math, and beyond. This set of thinking skills first intrigued us as we began to explore the idea that though creativity may look different across fields, there are still common ways of knowing that cut across disciplinary boundaries. In some of our earlier works around creativity (Henriksen, 2011; Henriksen & Mishra, 2015; Mishra, Koehler, & Henriksen, 2011), we explored and developed a set of seven cognitive-creative skills for creative thinking across disciplines, which were derived from a larger framework of creative thinking skills developed by Robert and Michele Root-Bernstein. Those seven skills are each covered thematically in chapters in this book (note that the skill of embodied thinking is covered over two chapters, to give space for discussion of empathy), but we owe a great intellectual debt to the Root-Bernsteins, for building out a set of concepts that has helped us explain and explore creative thinking.]
