“…Creative and skilled teachers are being found using different innovative teaching methods at higher education levels. Many studies consider creativity as a personal trait and intellectual ability of different individuals, associating creativity with genius and intelligence (Albert & Runco, 1999), or with knowledge (Weisberg, 1999). Therefore, the work of Picasso, as well as Einstein, Marie Curie, and Newton, can be seen as creative because at the same time point during their lives, these geniuses came up with something original, new, and at the same time valuable and appropriate (Ala-Mutka, Punie, & Redecker, 2008).…”

Pakistan is one of the progressing countries in the world. Its education system is yet in the stage of development. Students from towns and far flung areas come to advanced cities for higher education. This has made the university classrooms a mix of students having a diversity of age, gender, exposure, language, and family backgrounds. To facilitate all these students with personal differences under the same roof, a teacher has to adapt curriculum and lesson plans while bringing innovations in his teaching methods. This study aims to find out the use of innovative strategies by the teachers to respond to students' diversity at higher education level in public and private sector of Pakistan. The research is based on the assumption that innovative teaching has a positive impact on the performance of students' diversity. A survey of higher education teachers was conducted for the research. Statistics were applied for the analysis. The results are found to be significant in favor of innovative teaching. The analysis shows that the use of innovative teaching is more in private sector and also has different impact on different disciplines.

“…For example, in Albert & Runco (1999) it is noted that "...creativity is a mental capacity and was an integral part of the general concept of intelligence" (p. 27). However, results of studies, about the possible links between the different aspects of intelligence (cognition, creativity and socialadaptation) according to Sternberg's model of intelligence, found heterogeneity of these aspects.…”

In the present psychology-informed literature review we address some aspects of the nature of creativity from cognitive and confluence perspectives. The authors begin by discussing models of creativity offered by cognitive and confluence approaches, focusing on the transition from univariate to multivariate models. The article explores what these literatures suggest about factors that can influence creativity, including cognitive conative and environmental ones. The article goes on to present the overlaps and distinctiveness between creativity and innovation and the vexed question of the evaluation of creativity exploring two contrasting stances of psychometric and componential approaches. The review concludes by acknowledging the complexity of the phenomenon of creativity explored here mainly through cognitive and confluence lenses touching on psychometric and social-personality approaches, and recognizes the potential of other lenses in psychology such as psychodynamic, humanistic and evolutionary, for understanding creativity.Keywords: creativity, cognitive, confluence, complexity. Received La naturaleza de la creatividad: perspectivas cognitivas y confluencia ResumenEn la presente revisión de la literatura acerca de la psicología informativa abordamos algunos aspectos de la naturaleza de la creatividad desde perspectivas cognitivas y de confluencia. Los autores comienzan hablando de modelos de creatividad obtenidos por enfoques cognitivos y de confluencia, centrándose en la transición de modelos univariados a multivariados. El artí-culo explora en la literatura que se sugiere acerca de los factores que pueden influir en la creatividad, incluyendo la cognitiva conativa y la relacionada al medio ambiente. Luego presentamos las similitudes y diferencias entre la creatividad y la innovación, y la controvertida cuestión acerca de la evaluación de la creatividad, explorando dos posturas contrapuestas; los enfoques psicométricos y componenciales. Esta revisión concluye reconociendo la complejidad del fenómeno de la creatividad explorado aquí principalmente a través de una mirada cognitiva y de confluencia, tocando los enfoques psicométricos y sociales de la personalidad, y reconoce el potencial de otras miradas de la psicología, como la psicodinámica, la humanistica y la evolucionaria, para entender la creatividad.

“…Na antiguidade, acreditava-se que a criatividade tinha uma origem extraordinária, que era uma dádiva dos deuses a alguns eleitos (Albert & Runco, 1999), e que a criação resultava de inspiração divina ou mística. Os antigos afiançavam que o cérebro humano se dividia em duas câmaras: numa delas, os deuses cultivavam as novas ideias, enquanto a outra metade recebia essas ideias e transformava-as em obras humanas.…”

“…Essa visão confere à criatividade um lugar de destaque na própria vida. Os primeiros estudos científicos da criatividade surgem na psicologia, com Binet e Galton: depois de uma primeira fase em que se olha, sobretudo, para a pessoa, na crença de que os criativos são determinados pela genética, os modelos posteriores começam a olhar para o exterior do indivíduo e, concretamente, para a influência de fatores externos, como a família e a educação (Albert & Runco, 1999).…”

Resumo O objetivo deste texto é realçar o papel do indivíduo na criatividade nas organizações. Esse papel tem sido estranhamente remetido para um plano secundário, à medida que as modernas visões da criatividade a definem, sobretudo, com relação ao contexto em que ocorre. De fato, na perspectiva atual, a criatividade não pode ser entendida sem se considerarem os contextos funcional, relacional e organizacional nos quais está inserido o trabalhador. Tais são as considerações da maior parte dos autores que escreve sobre o tópico, como sejam Amabile (1996), Csikszentmihalyi (1996), ou, mais recentemente, Glăveanu (2010a, 2010b). Essa corrente dominante, com origem no interacionismo psico-social, tem ainda influenciado o desenvolvimento teórico de outros conceitos em psicologia, sociologia, e, na sequência, nas ciências sociais e humanas, e na gestão. Essa supremacia no que concerne a criatividade, tem conduzido os autores a olvidar o papel do indivíduo no processo e no resultado criativos, chegando a retirar-lhe a responsabilidade e o protagonismo pela geração e produção de ideias. Desse modo, no presente texto, recuperam-se os argumentos em favor da centralidade da pessoa na criatividade, defendendo-se que esta tem uma existência isolada de influências externas, e que, como tal, devem relembrar-se as bases individuais da criatividade.
