Evidence Base

This resource is based on large scale international literature reviews and workshops with expert practitioners across both the CREAT-IT (2013-15) and CREATIONS (2015-18) projects.

You can download the CREATIONS literature review here:

Chappell, K. et al. (2016). CREATIONS D2.1 The Features of Inquiry Learning: Theory, Research and Practice. H2020-EU.5.a: 665917

And a report from CREAT-IT here:

Chappell, K. et al. (2015). CREAT-IT: a new pedagogical framework for partnering the arts and science in science education. Unpublished summary report and position paper.

 

The CREATIONS project also generated a number of academic articles and chapters.  These two are quite complex philosophical reads but worth a look:

Chappell, K. et al (2019) Dialogue and materiality/embodiment in Science|Arts Creative Pedagogy: Role and Manifestation. Thinking Skills and Creativity 31 296-322.

Hetherington, L. et al (2020). Creative Pedagogy and Environmental Responsibility: A Diffractive Analysis of an Intra-Active Science|Arts Practice. In Why Science and Art Creativities Matter: Re-configuring Steam for Future-making Education, (Eds) Burnard

 

More recently there has been a systematic literature review of creative pedagogy carried out which has also informed how this research has been shaped. Available here:

Cremin, T. & Chappell, K. (2019). Creative Pedagogies: A Systematic Review. Research Papers in Education. doi.org/10.1080/02671522.2019.1677757

 

This blog describes the systematic literature review in an accessible way:

Creativity is back on the map: But how do we navigate from here?
