Creativity is very important in every field of life and of course In teaching or learning creativity has a very big role.
Creativity - a magical talent, a sign of intelligence, or a skill to learn? The difficulty in approaching this field is that the topic is still relatively new but already rich with many theories, as well as a certain mystique (Sternberg & Lubart,1996). The purpose of this chapter is to shed light on the concept of creativity and its implications for teaching and learning. Within the concept of creativity, we provide a portrait of what creativity may look like, a definition of creativity, an overview on some creative-thought models, and discussion of how the models and definition fit the introductory example of creativity. In addressing the implications for teaching and learning, we offer an example of creativity in the classroom followed by a discussion of targeted strategies for teaching towards creativity in the classroom.
