Creativity is recognised as being a complex concept, yet it continues to be highly valued and sought, in education and other professions, and a substantial body of work has arisen, based on how to generate creativity in oneself and others.
Aimed at professional teachers, trainers and leaders with a particular interest in the assessment of ‘creativity’, this Build your own MA (BYOMA) short course is designed to challenge the ‘common sense’ about creativity. It will explore a range of theories and research into the concept and an examination of how judgements about creativity may be made and how the validity of such judgements may be addressed. Having critically evaluated theories of creativity and theories of, and approaches to, assessment, you will apply this learning in the development of a strategy for assessing creativity within a specific educational or professional context.

Course programme

Course Details

Integral to our courses is the belief that people improve their professional practice by taking time out to reflect on and reassess what they currently do in the workplace and by sharing their real life experiences with the other like minded professionals.

As a result each course is unique and geared to the experiences of the individuals that are participating, which may result in the course content altering slightly from course to course.

This short course will examine topics such as:

Theories of, and critical approaches to, ‘creativity’
Concepts of art and craft
Concepts of problem solving
Critical approaches to assessment
Philosophical approaches to judgements and value.
