Abstract | This digest describes academic creativity and offers suggestions for its development in gifted students. Creative learning and learning by authority are contrasted and examples of each are given. The naturally creative behavior of young children is noted. Among suggestions offered to teachers are: respect the unusual questions of children; show children that their ideas have value by listening and considering them; and provide chances for children to learn and discover without threats of immediate evaluation. Among suggestions offered to parents are: provide opportunities for creative expression, problem solving, and constructive response to change and stress; find creative ways to resolve conflicts between family members; and ensure that every family member receives individual attention and respect. Noted are ways adults can kill creativity in children, by insisting that children do things the "right way"; making comparisons with other children; and discouraging children's curiosity. Includes 14 references or other resources. (DB) |
