Creative Learning in the Primary School uses ethnographic research
to consider the main features of creative teaching and learning
within the context of contemporary policy reforms. In particular,
the authors are interested in the clash between two oppositional
discourses - creativity and performativity - and how they are
resolved in creative teacher practice. The book complements
previous work by these authors on creative teaching by giving more
consideration to creative learning. The first section of the book
explores the nature of creative teaching and learning by examining
four key features: relevance, control, ownership and innovation.
The authors devote a chapter to each of these aspects, outlining
their properties and illustrating them with a wide range of
examples, mainly from recent practice in primary schools. The
second section presents some instructive examples of schools
promoting creative learning, and how creative primary schools have
responded to the policy reforms of recent years. The chapters focus
specifically on: how pupils act as a powerful resource for creative
learning for each other and for their teachers; how teachers have
appropriated the reforms to enhance their creativity; and how one
school has moved over a period of ten years from heavy constraint
to high creativity. The blend of analysis, case-study material and
implications for practice will make this book attractive to primary
teachers, school managers, policy makers, teacher educators and
researchers.
