Creative activity in conception of sustainable development education

Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to reflect on the stages in the development of creative activity considering the distinctive features of all stages and the modes of dynamics of the development of a creative person.Design/methodology/approachThe paper analyses scientific investigations and pedagogical experiences in order to develop the model for the formation of creative activity of artists‐visual art teachers in the context of sustainable development.FindingsThe investigations of scientific literature on pedagogy, psychology, philosophy, as well as the analysis of pedagogical practice allow us to recognize that the formation of creative activity is comprised of several stages. These stages are closely connected with a creative process and depend on a person's artistic talents and abilities.Practical implicationsThe development of creative activity is a very complicated process that takes place over whole period of life and depends on social, material and mental factors. Each personality goes through this process in an individual pace and manner. Further, investigations will be carried into a more profound analysis of the suggested system, the determinations of its development dynamics in connection with all mentioned above components in the context of sustainable development.Originality/valueThis paper is generalizing information of theoretical and empirical research.

Emotional Quotient and Creative Thinking Skills in Mathematics

“…A creative personality dares to engage in uncertain and ambiguous situations, find new aspects in something that is congenial and familiar and create new experiences, always eagerly searching for new styles and manners and proceedings with various stages of the creative process [60]; [61]; [62]. The characteristics of creativity are defined as being aware of one's own unity and coherence and evaluating the conditions for uniting the knowledge the person uses in the framework of this awareness, understanding the information obtained through observations and experiments, and making it ready to be used, perceiving the problem very quickly and making decisions quickly associating it with his imagination [63]; [64].…”

Is This for Real? Authentic Learning for the Challenging Events Environment

“…The capacity of a network to be innovative is determined not only by the extent to which individuals contribute creatively but also by the extent to which network participants as a whole contribute to enhance that creativity. This often requires a mindset change (Matheson, 2006;Selart et al, 2008;Slahova et al, 2007;Zeichner, 2007). Accordingly, the event ideas that the student groups create (set in an assessment parameter) are shared most particularly with emerging group leaders (those with highest grades) from each tutorial group with an industry panel (see Table 2) -each stakeholder involved enjoying the high quality of the other.…”
