The Oxford Handbook of Creativity and Education

The Oxford International Handbook of Creativity and Education brings together cutting-edge scholarship about the global trends and future directions of creativity in education. Diverse models and frameworks capture the state of the field with a focus on cognitive, social, and cultural areas of creativity in education. Barriers and supports to creativity are examined in educational policy, assessment, curriculum, classroom environments, and school contexts. This handbook is designed to propagate new research and applications in the field by helping students, researchers and program evaluators understand and apply these models of creativity to how students, teachers and leaders enact creativity in learning, teaching, and leading. The handbook will inspire new work to advance the study and practice of creativity in education.

Section I provides an overview of creativity frameworks, models, and pedagogies of education to anchor the handbook. Research on creativity in students, teachers, and schools are discussed in Section II. Culture and communities of creativity are explored in depth in Section III. Section IV covers creativity in academic disciplines like art, music, math, science, and engineering. Lastly, Section V provides thought-provoking chapters on researching education.
