• What is creativity and why is it important
• How schools kill creativity
• How to promote creativity in schools
Creativity: Definition & Importance
Creativity is problem solving with relevance
and novelty. It is characterized by the ability
to perceive the world in new ways, to find
hidden patterns, to make connections
between seemingly unrelated phenomena,
and to generate solutions.
“Without creativity, we are all less inspired, less
inventive, less resourceful, less socially aware,
less globally aware, less of a society… and
ultimately less human”.
Nigel Carrington, vice-chancellor at the University of the Arts,
London
Why do we need creativity right now?
• More people have degrees
• The creativity crisis
• Employers pick creativity over
leadership skills
How schools kill creativity
The researcher reports that the percentage of a person’s decreases as we
get older:
0
10
20
30
40
50
60
preschoolers 9 to 12 year olds 12 to 17 year olds
 Schools force people in specific areas: At
the top are mathematics and
languages, then the humanities, and at
the bottom are the arts.
Standardization
Most people become spectators instead
of participants
 Students have become
frightened of being wrong.
 Education is modeled on the
interest of industrialization
and the image of it
They’re organized on factory
lines
 Ringing bells
 Separate facilities
 Uniforms
 Separate subjects
How to promote creativity in
schools
“Play to unblock human
potential through all stages
of life”
1-Provide a playful workspace
Play IS creativity
2- Encourage them to ask questions
“You don’t want to raise a kid in a culture where the kid
who asks the most questions is annoying”
Foster curiosity
3-Brainstorming
Brainstorming is about
problem solving and
generating multiple ideas, so
you could apply it to a
problem.
4-Encourage students to make mistakes
 Lead children to activities where
they are able to find out the answer
through trial and error .
Conclusion
Thank you for your attention

Editor's Notes

  1. Humans have millions of brain cells, so yes all of us are born creative we just need to be taught how to use our capacities and especially, to practice solving problems.
  2. As you all know, ppl spend many years of their lives at schools so how does it affect our creativity
  3. Actually there is a shared understanding that children have a huge creative potential. In a study on creativity in young people from pre-school to the age of 17, Meador (1992) measured the originality of individual responses to an alternative uses task. The researcher reports that for pre-schoolers the percentage of originality was between 52 and 60%, whereas for older ages it decreased. Nine to 12 year olds had an originality response of 26% and 12 to 17 year olds of 34% (Meador, 1992).
  4. Every education system on Earth has the same hierarchy of subjects. There isn't an education system on the planet that teaches dance everyday to children the way we teach them mathematics. Why? Why not? I think this is rather important. I think math is very important, but so is dance. Children dance all the time if they're allowed to, we all do. We all have bodies, don't we?  if you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original -- if you're not prepared to be wrong. And by the time they get to be adults, most kids have lost that capacity. 
  5. Factory lines: ringing bells, separate facilities, uniforms, separate subjects
  6. Creativity involves a bit of failure, and children should be comfortable with that. Give example with scientist
  7. Supporting creativity of our children within the constraints of our education system is not an easy task for teachers and parents. It requires adults to be creative in order to promote innovation and creativity in children. Humans have millions of brain cells, so yes all of us are born creative we just need to be taught how to use our capacities and especially, to practice solving problems.
