Creative Confidence in Secondary Education: A Systematic Review

Abstract

This article is predicated on a systematic review of educational examination and academic literature referring to creative confidence as a part and a great influential tool for secondary education. Regardless of the dynamic work of global design company ‘IDEO’ that constructs positive influence through design thinking in13 areas besides learning and education, there is a lack of practice on creative confidence in didactic learning of the secondary school. To explore the procedure of how secondary school students’ learning may be organized by using creative confidence, scientific articles on design thinking and creative confidence in the classroom have been explored, analysed, and compared. A particular emphasis was put on competency-based learning as a base of any educational curriculum in the 21stcentury. There was evidence of the influence for the usage of creative confidence as a part of a didactic approach with secondary school students. It was stated that design thinking goes next to creative confidence as a part of it rather than a different term. Further on the findings of this article may be used to adapt creative confidence in both a lesson plan and curriculum of a specific subject.
