“If there was a moment when our crisis in education hit critical mass it may well have been the date Sir Ken Robinson’s TED talk went up on RU-vid. In just 19 minutes his wry but eviscerating presentation gave voice to what so many of us are living through: our schools are failing to recognize creativity; we’re failing to prepare the next generation for the challenges that lie ahead.” - VANITY FAIR
Sir Ken Robinson, PhD is an internationally recognized leader in the development of creativity, innovation and human resources in education and in business. He is also one of the world’s leading speakers on these topics, with a profound impact on audiences everywhere. The videos of his famous 2006 and 2010 talks to the prestigious TED Conference have been viewed more than 25 million times and seen by an estimated 250 million people in over 150 countries. His 2006 talk is the most viewed in TED’s history. In 2011 he was listed as “one of the world’s elite thinkers on creativity and innovation” by Fast Company magazine, and was ranked among the Thinkers50 list of the world’s top business thought leaders.
Sir Ken works with governments and educations systems in Europe, Asia and the USA, with international agencies, Fortune 500 companies and some of the world’s leading cultural organizations. In 1998, he led a national commission on creativity, education and the economy for the UK Government. All Our Futures: Creativity, Culture and Education (The Robinson Report) was published to wide acclaim in 1999. He was the central figure in developing a strategy for creative and economic development as part of the Peace Process in Northern Ireland, working with the ministers for training, education enterprise and culture. The resulting blueprint for change, Unlocking Creativity, was adopted by politicians of all parties and by business, education and cultural leaders across the Province. He was one of four international advisors to the Singapore Government for its strategy to become the creative hub of South East Asia.
For twelve years, he was professor of education at the University of Warwick in the UK and is now professor emeritus. He has received honorary degrees from the Rhode Island School of Design, the Open University and the Central School of Speech and Drama; Birmingham City University, the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts and Oklahoma State University.

Last night I was looking through some trivia, and came across this quote from Tesla: "It doesn't bother me that they stole my idea! What bothers me is that they had no ideas of their own!"

not only can creativity be taught, but it needs to be taught. we need kids who get better--not worse--at creating things, building things, and solving problems as they go through school.

The most profound original creative idea is so multidimentional in its nature that is holds a factual inspiration for every field of existance to enhance the untapped creative potential still unexplored within the whole of humanity. Any thing can be taught..it just depends on the skills of the teacher to be able to intrique the students enough to want to listen.

@philiphalpenny9761 6 лет назад

Facinating point of view from professor Robinson. Creativity craves incouragement. Formal education constricts because it demands acquiesence to, committe led ,curriculum objectives. If talent is governed by committees it only nullifies individuality. Respect to the doctor, but, personal experience leads me to wholesale disagreement. In the same way a broke artist sells a painting to make ends meat but knows that the purchaser is unlikely to be as obsessively, passionate about the subject. Artist's often are obstinate to the point of paranoia because they are surrounded by indifference. Worse still is that formal education perpetuates this philistism.

Is it that people who say "creativity can't be taught" have a narrow definition of teaching, or is it that Sir Ken has too broad a definition of teaching? I think both. He's not really talking about 'teaching' creativity, he's talking about fostering it or creating the appropriate environment that would allow for creativity. People think of teaching as showing or instructing someone how to do something and they're not wrong. That is really the definition of teaching. But you can't really show someone how to BE creative, rather... since everyone is or can be creative (some more than others, naturally), you just have to provide them with the right resources, encourage them to follow their interests and use their core strengths, and give them autonomy. Then again, it seems this is what he means when he says that creativity can be taught, but it's an important distinction to make and clears up confusion. Creativity, at least the defining points, happens at random moments, it's not very predictable. That's why organizations often fail to teach creativity to their employees, because they're trying to teach them the PROCESS of creativity, but actually, creativity is anti-process - it's not something you can follow step by step or force in a set timeline. It's the free flowing of one's own ideas and making connections, both of which happen as they work on something. Different people will approach it differently (should be obvious). An organic INNER process cannot be taught, by the actual definition of teaching. It can be encouraged though, that's the one thing we're really missing nowadays. Still, I think he makes good points. And it seems he's also thinking of teaching as mentoring rather than strictly 'teaching.' He's talking about what it should or at least could be, as opposed to the common type of teaching. So reframing the question: can we cultivate creativity by changing the way we teach and educate? Yes. First step.... stop barking orders at students and trying to get them all to conform to one path and curriculum like in the current prevailing education system.

@chrissysmith3888 6 лет назад

black cat inc. To ask a highly creative mind to work within the strict criterea of an education system is like caging a wild bird..the mind will starve of the freedom to explore its quantum thought path of ideas outside the box; where it is magnetically pulled towards new discoveries by something yet to be understood by humanity. Give a creative mind a blank canvas and a threefold instruction: Find a topic of anything on or beyond this planet that has not already been envisioned from that point of view. Give it a clear anchor to factual reality in the present time. Return it with a pearl of wisdom. The results can help you find the true pioneers of creativity that should never be moulded to fit the rules and regulations of the classroom before it clips their wings of thought to permenantly be grounded. Because thats the disabling effect it can have on many creative minds prior to their adult maturity. A creative mind needs its voyage and adventure, and it cannot do that within the confinements of a fishbowl.

As an Art Educator I am continuously baffled about the pre-conceived notions of creativity - usually quite narrow minded as Sir Ken points out. Its up to us to make sure Creativity IS taught and more importantly that when its taught that the value is constantly and consistently made clear. Its the only way to make change.

Summary: Definition of Creativity: Process of having original ideas that has value. Breaking down the 3 bits Process, Originality and Value: 1) It's a process and not an event. First attempt may not get you where you want to be. 2) Original thinking - it should be original to you at the least. 3) It should add value - people will evaluate it.

@thuglifescientist4116 6 лет назад

Creativity is a power which enables people to modify existing thing to a new thing to a new thing or an ability to create a new structure never existed which is alienware(something that is alternative alter + native where alter refers to the idea which is purely diverged thinking not a single part of it is associated with existing subject) that ability I define as creativity

@zuutlmna 9 лет назад

I think it's kind of a paradoxical situation.. As we evolve more creative people and societies, likewise will we probably see the teaching of creativity evolving. Unfortunately, at present, we do not have particularly creative societies, in my opinion.. We see a bit of it in the sciences and technology. But aside from that we're a bit stagnated, in my opinion. But I don't fault parents, or schools, too much on that. Sadly, I think there are special interest groups that function to keep things from moving forward. In fact, I think one could almost go so far as to make an accusation of regress, instead of progress. For those of you that might've read "Teaching As a Subversive Activity" by Neil Postman and Charles Weingartner, back in the 1970's, they mentioned an interview with Paul Goodman, as to whether he could recommend one really important skill for future learners. He answered "cr*p detecting." I think it's a very good answer. The more sophisticated things become, similarly the more slyly stuff can be dealt to the masses that's ineffectual for the masses, yet quite lucrative or some such, for special interests.

Because he isn't talking about actual creativity here, he's just saying words so he can feel smart. I love how he actually tries to connect creativity with math, as if that subject doesn't shun creativity like the plague.

Not fully behind the idea that creativity can be taught. Bright Sparks exist, and just need to be exposed.

@joshuadunne3413 6 лет назад

Not taught, but exposed to another way of doing or seeing. When teaching Maths we check understanding by getting students to show it another way. Why can't creativity be the same? Show me another way, show me your way!

@chrissysmith3888 6 лет назад

@sessahme 8 лет назад

I wonder, is it equally creative to come up with something of value by accident, which I believe may have been the explanation of the child's creativity in his story, or is it more creative to break free from learned ideas about the way things "are" and still have the ability to create something new and of value?

Ya. First of all, creativity must be PERMITTED. our teachers and bosses don’t want to make space for it. Secondly we cannot force positivism and fear upon creativity. It’s the opposite, since creativity is a liberating and rule-breaking.

@dudgeohpolitix7311 9 лет назад

But will the bureaucrats, unions and "big business", who are so entrench ed in the current system of tests and pigeonholing of future workers, accept the need for creativity that will inevitably lead to creative free thinkers?

@Ihatelads 6 лет назад

Actually, if you think about that it is wrong. Because wouldnt a big business benefit from more creative thinking people, would mean they can create new things quicker with more valuable inputs. Big businesses CEOs all say they think the education system is terrible, i dont know any employer who stands by modern education. I just thought it is a thought to think about before you blame big business for all the worlds problems.

@sarajohnson4003 5 лет назад

I do think it is an interesting point to bring up about the financial aspects of why the education system still is as it is. I don't think that it is *all* the problem of "big businesses" or anything like that, but I do think there is an issue that needs to be addressed of the economic factors holding our education system where it is. If education were to undergo a change, the businesses that get their money from the current education system would be understandably resistant. As they rely on that money, and many of those businesses are deeply rooted. Perhaps if there were some sort of transition for these same businesses to continue making money under a new, more effective, education system, they would be more willing to assist in any changes. (Just an idea. And I wanted to just point out that I believe the businesses are a factor in education change)

@vanrozay8871 8 лет назад

my experience is that creativity is in short supply and can't be taught, that the vision of an artist or inventor is rare. of course, many "identify" as "creatives," because it costs nothing (but credibility, which over-reachers usually lack, unless they're donald trump) to come on as a hotshot. despite the above naysaying, i encourage all people to use imagination and critical thinking as much as they can. but unrealistic pretensions hold us back.

creativity cannot be taught, just like genius cannot be taught, but it can certainly be crushed.

@guitarfreekin 6 лет назад

I disagree. Genius is hard work. Creativity is the result of insight, insight comes from knowing or the process of acquiring knowledge. The problem is when you confuse genius with anything else other than curiosity. Curiosity is the fuel of creativity and creative insight. Creative insight mixed with resilience is genius
