Abstract

This study investigated the association between teachers’ informal workplace learning and teaching for creativity (TfC) among 2,880 teachers. Structural equation modelling was conducted to investigate the relationship. The five types of informal workplace learning activities (learning through media, colleague interactions, stakeholder interactions, student interactions, and individual reflection) were all positively related to TfC, but in different ways: individual reflection and learning through student interactions had the strongest associations with process-oriented and product-oriented TfC, respectively.
