Abstract

creativity creativity research Developmental Psychology Education Educational Psychology History
The introduction anchors the handbook by acquainting readers with a brief history of the field of creativity in education, a synopsis of the state of the field today, and the challenge to build upon the escalation of creativity research for brighter educational futures throughout the world. The popularity of research in this area has outpaced the application and curricular advances in creativity, which has stymied in general education. Therefore, the handbook serves as a clarion call to unite those studying creativity topics to continue to diversify the field, expand creativity research in new educational areas, and balance rigor with context when tailoring creativity assessment to the educational needs of today.
