Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the evidence-based interventions that can be used to promote creative thinking skills for children and adolescents in schools. It begins by explaining the theoretical basis of these training programmes, before presenting a coherent framework for the application of creativity theory in education. The authors describe and analyse programmes that have drawn on this framework, before offering an overview of the results of experimental studies which have validated the authors’ approach. This book provides practical guidance on how the programmes can be applied in the classroom and discusses potential future directions for research and practice for increasing children’s creativity. This book will be a valuable resource for teachers and teacher trainers, as well as to researchers in the psychology of creativity, education, and educational psychology.
