Much has been written about the
importance of creativity in learning and education over the last few
decades. This unique book extends beyond the usual focus on implementing
creative methods in learning, teaching and assessing within higher
education, to an examination of creativity as central to a learning
process which is transformational for the student. More specifically, Learning as a Creative and Developmental Process in Higher Education
examines the importance of a facilitative tutor-student relationship
and environment which contextualise this creative process of teaching
and learning.
Bringing together unique teaching and learning
approaches developed by experienced academics, this book discusses a
number of complex issues, including approaches to an understanding of
the student’s self-concept as learner; the nature of the curriculum; the
potential of metaphor and creativity; and a multi-modal approach to
learning and teaching. Contributions to the book also examine some of
the challenges and tensions of such an approach within the context of
arts-based subjects in higher education institutions. Using a unique and
coherent thematic structure that is based upon the student journey as a
transformational process, this book provides a new way of understanding
the student journey through higher education.
Including an
examination of the parallels between educational and arts education and
arts therapies disciplines, this book will be of interest to
researchers, academics and postgraduate students involved in the arts
and the arts therapies, as well as those studying creativity in teaching
and learning in higher education. It should be of particular interest
to those involved in the teaching and training of teachers and lecturers
in higher education.
