Creativitate în educație

Abstract

Creativity is considered as one of the four major century skills in the 21st century. Consequently, research on creativity has been particularly flourishing over recent decades. This article summarizes the importance of creativity in education. Creative learning puts the learner at the center of the learning process, favoring understanding over memorization and mere content acquisition. The creative learning experience is opposite to the reproductive experience. When learners understand that teachers value creativity, they are more prone to being creative, but teachers' ability to foster students creativity largely depends on the kind of training they have received.
