"Every person is a creative being": Teaching method designed to cultivate creativity from the perspective of educational psychology

Wai Man LEE

Abstract

The socio-culturo-historical development of the twenty-first century to a large extent will depend upon the creativity of the people. The creativity itself in turn will be determined by the support of creative education. The AR3 Model to be discussed in this article-- a model that can be adopted to support creative education-- is based on the belief derived from educational psychology in recent years that creativity is a common ability for every physically and mentally healthy person. Through guided training and practice, the latent creativity can be released. The Model integrates six cognitive and non-cognitive components, together with other related sociocultural factors, to form a dialogical circle which facilitates the process of creative venture.
