Description
The Link between Creativity and Education Although the interest in creativity goes back to Plato's age (Cropley, 2004) and is found in the Greek, Judaic, Christian and Muslim traditions, (Craft, 2001) renewed policy interest came about with the launch of satellite, "Sputnik 1", by the Soviet Union in 1957. The purported failure of the engineers from Europe, USA and other Western countries was attributed to their lack of creativity which led to the National Defense Education Act (USA) to accept the concept as important for "prosperity...survival of society" (Esquivel, 1995). Since this there have been several "waves of creativity in education" (Wilson, 2005). The latest interest, however, began in the late 90's (Jeffrey, 2005) and has since been growing (Turner-Bisset, 2007) throughout the world, including countries such as the USA and UK (Shallcross, 1981; Feldman et al, 2006). Policymakers have shown more sustained enthusiasm than previously (Craft, 2006), which has added to its popularity as a topic of debate (Dickhut, 2003) moving it from the "fringes of education ... to being seen as a core aspect of educating" (Craft, 2005).
