Dr. Pablo P.L. Tinio, Associate Professor, Department of Educational Foundations of the College of Education and Human Services and the Creativity and Aesthetics Lab at Montclair State University will convene the Spring 2019 annual Symposium on Imagination and Creativity in Science and Education.
Imagination and Creativity in Science and Education
Creativity is considered an important 21st century skill that individuals need to succeed in their personal and professional lives. Although creativity, and the related concept of imagination, are much desired, they are difficult to teach. Additionally, there are many misconceptions about how they are expressed. Put plainly, imagination and creativity are mysterious and misunderstood concepts. This symposium brings together experts on the science and teaching of creativity. Together they will identify and address the common misconceptions about creativity, present the state-of-the-art in creativity research and pedagogy, and discuss the many factors that promote or inhibit the expression of imaginative and creative behaviors.
