Benaji, Burn and Buckingham (2006) - Questions

1. Is creativity an internal cognitive function, or is it an external social or cultural phenomenon? I believe that creativity sprouts from both cognitive function and social or cultural experiences. It is rare that people have entirely brand new ideas as most have already been used up. Almost everything has been inspired by something else, and for that reason, creativity appears to derive mainly from external sources, but no one can deny that creativity derives from individual's minds on certain occasions.


2. Is creativity a pervasive, ubiquitous feature of human activity, or a special faculty, either reserved for particular groups, individuals, or particular domains of activity, in particularly artistic activity?
3. Is creativity an inevitable social good, invariably progressive, harmonious and collaborative; or is it capable of disruption, political critique and dissent, and even anti-social outcomes?
4. What does the notion of creative teaching and learning imply?
