How should we understand children s creativity?
This fascinating collection of international research offers
fresh perspectives on children s creative processes and the
expression of their creative imagination through dramatic play,
stories, artwork, dance, music and conversation.
Drawing on a range of research evidence from innovative
educational initiatives in a wide variety of countries, Exploring
Children s Creative Narratives develops new theoretical and
practical insights that challenge traditional thinking about
children s creativity. The chapters, written by well-respected
international contributors:
- offer new conceptual and interpretive frameworks for
understanding children s creativity
- contest conventional discourses about the origins and nature of
creativity
- challenge the view that young children s creativity can only be
judged in terms of their creative output
- explore the significance children themselves attribute to their
creative activity
- argue the need for a radical reappraisal of the influence of
the sociocultural context on children s creative expression
- discuss the implications of this research in relation to
teacher education and curriculum design.
This broad yet coherent compilation of research on creativity in
childhood is essential reading for students, researchers and policy
makers in early childhood as well as for Early Years professionals
with a particular interest in creativity.
