This volume reflects the multiplicity of perspectives in the
theory and practice of creativity, while it is broadly accepted
that the dynamism of humanity s responses to our evolving
scientific, social and environmental needs depends on our
creativity. It examines the central issues that animate the themes
of creativity, talent development and excellence in schools and in
the workplace, as well as analysing their related socio-cultural
activities and processes. Forged in the workshops of a number of
conferences and symposia, this collection represents in itself a
creative partnership between European and Asian academics. Thus it
includes contributions from various cultural and organizational
settings, as well as chapters that enhance our conceptual models of
creativity in both learning and teaching.
The contributing authors recognize that exploring the nature of
creativity necessitates a new paradigm in research and praxis in
which integration, collaboration, and the synthesis of knowledge
and expertise are key factors. Their chapters detail the results of
studies relating to to creativity, talent, school excellence, team
and goal setting, innovation and organizational excellence,
resilience, self-regulation, and personal epistemology. Clearly
defined sections take on discrete aspects of the topic that include
a vital assessment of the challenges that lie ahead in fostering
the creativity, talent and excellence of the young and in doing so,
allowing them to play a positive and innovative role in a variety
of social contexts.
