SUMMARY

Developing Creativity in Higher Education: An imaginative curriculum Edited by Norman Jackson, Martin Oliver, Malcolm Shaw and James Wisdom Our ability to imagine and then invent new worlds for ourselves is one of our greatest assets and the origin of all human achievement, yet the importance of creativity in learning and achievement is largely unrecognised in a higher education world that places more value on critical and rational thinking. It is a vision of a higher education world in which students' creativity is valued alongside more traditional forms of academic achievement that provides the driving force for this book. Developing Creativity in Higher Education has grown out of the Imaginative Curriculum network-based collaborative learning project. It is the first book to systematically address the issue of creativity in higher education. It features: * an analysis of the problem of creativity in higher education and rich perspectives on the meanings of creativity in different teaching and subject contexts * illustrative examples of teaching and assessment strategies, augmented by web-based, curriculum guides and aids to encourage teachers to examine their own understandings of creativity in order to help students to develop their own creativity * practical advice on how to foster creativity at an individual and an institutional level Developing Creativity in Higher Education will appeal to teachers, educational developers, and institutional managers who want to enrich the higher education experiences of their students and enable them to develop more of their potential. Norman Jackson is Director for the University of Surrey Centre for Excellence in Professional Training and Education (SCEPTrE) and Professor of Higher Education. Martin Oliver is a Senior Lecturer at the London Knowledge Lab, Institute of Education, London. Malcolm Shaw is Professor of Educational Development at Leeds Metropolitan University. James Wisdom is a higher education consultant, Co-Chair of the Staff and Educational Development Association and a visiting Professor at Middlesex University.
