Imagination is the Source of Creativity and Invention This series
of essays has been collected expressly to bring readers new ideas
about imagination and creativity in education that will both
stimulate discussion and debate and also contribute practical ideas
for how to infuse our daily classrooms with imaginative activities.
In a world that values creative innovation, it is distressing that
our schools are dominated by an educational paradigm that pays too
little attention to engaging the imagination and emotions of
students in the curriculum and the worlds challenges that the
curriculum is designed to prepare students to meet. The ability of
children to think creatively, to be innovative, enterprising, and
capable, depends greatly on providing a rich imagination-based
educational environment. It is only when we consider the
imagination a vital component of our lives and one of the great
workhorses of learning that we recognize the importance of adding
the imaginative to the study of the affective, cognitive, and
physical modes of our development. Doing so fills a gap that has
led to incomplete accounts of childrens development, their
subsequent learning needs, and indeed, how to fulfill these needs
in educational environments.This discussion, about the importance
of imagination and creativity in education, has been taken up by
researchers and educators around the world. It is represented here
by writings from authors from Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark,
Italy, Israel, Japan, and Romania. In the first part of this book
these authors explore and discuss theories of development,
imagination, and creativity. In the second part they extend these
theories to broader social issues such as responsible citizenship,
gender, and special needs education, to new approaches to
curriculum subjects such as literacy, science, and mathematics, and
to the educational environment of the museum.
