Description
Introduction Creativity in education is one of the critical themes among researchers from various disciplines. Although globalization and a faster rate of innovation are two of the most frequently mentioned trends in creative education (Frese, 2000; Rank et al., 2004), little attention has been devoted to research in social and policy issues related to creative thinking in education and society. Previous studies in education are replete with descriptions of creativity and creative thinking. They, however, are not successful in identifying the process of creative thinking in educational management and policy area (Rank et al., 2004). From the overall perspectives of research in creativity and creative education, Dacey (1999: p. 321) suggested that modern creativity research has developed across a range of disciplines as "psychological and contextual influences received more recognition". Furthermore, creativity should not be seen purely in terms of novel ideas but that it is intrinsically bound with the teaching of academic disciplines (Rowlands, 2011).
