Much has been written about the importance of creativity in
learning and education over the last few decades. This unique book
extends beyond the usual focus on implementing creative methods in
learning, teaching and assessing within higher education, to an
examination of creativity as central to a learning process which is
transformational for the student. More specifically, Learning as a
Creative and Developmental Process in Higher Education examines the
importance of a facilitative tutor-student relationship and
environment which contextualise this creative process of teaching
and learning. Bringing together unique teaching and learning
approaches developed by experienced academics, this book discusses
a number of complex issues, including approaches to an
understanding of the student's self-concept as learner; the nature
of the curriculum; the potential of metaphor and creativity; and a
multi-modal approach to learning and teaching. Contributions to the
book also examine some of the challenges and tensions of such an
approach within the context of arts-based subjects in higher
education institutions. Using a unique and coherent thematic
structure that is based upon the student journey as a
transformational process, this book provides a new way of
understanding the student journey through higher education.
Including an examination of the parallels between educational and
arts education and arts therapies disciplines, this book will be of
interest to researchers, academics and postgraduate students
involved in the arts and the arts therapies, as well as those
studying creativity in teaching and learning in higher education.
It should be of particular interest to those involved in the
teaching and training of teachers and lecturers in higher
education.
