Classic and Novel Approaches in Creativity Assessment and Programming: Implications for Gifted Education
Sun, April 16, 4:40 to 6:10pm CDT (4:40 to 6:10pm CDT), Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk, Floor: Level 4, Chicago Ballroom VIIISession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Creativity is an essential component of gifted education, thus advances in creativity research have remarkable implications for the gifted education community. This symposium features four empirical studies that provide evidence on useful cutting-edge identification and programming practices. These presentations provide psychometric properties of classic and novel creativity assessment tools and implications for inclusive identification practices. Given the wide variation in how creativity tests are administered, it also provides key findings from a systematic review on the best practices in developing and administering creativity tests to children. Furthermore, it presents evidence from neuroscience research on the effectiveness of problem-solving training in fostering creativity. All in all, this symposium provides practical tools, guidelines, and methods for both identifying and cultivating creativity.
