Description 內容簡介
Traditional views of creativity often focus on the work of sole individuals. But in reality, creativity is not an individual endeavor; rather, it is a distributed and participatory process. In this session, Edward Clapp—a Principal Investigator at Harvard Project Zero and the Founder and CEO of the Next World Learning Lab—will introduce the concept of Participatory Creativity, a socially distributed approach to idea development that provides the opportunity for all young people to engage in creative work. Learn about the key concepts associated with this bold reframing of invention and innovation and engage with a series of pictures of practice that show Participatory Creativity in action in the secondary school classroom. Along the way, participants will be introduced to a variety of tools and strategies to support Participatory Creativity in practice. Leave inspired and equipped with actionable strategies that ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive in the creative classroom.
傳統對創造力的觀點大多聚焦於個人創作。然而，創造力實則並非單一的個體表現，而是一種分散式的社會參與過程。
本場講座由哈佛大學教育研究學院 「零點計劃」首席研究員暨 Next World Learning Lab 創辦人兼行政總裁 Edward Clapp 博士主講，介紹「參與式創造力」的核心概念。此觀點主張創造力應被視為一種社會分布的活動，為青少年提供多元參與創作的機會，並透過群體互動促進創新。
講者將深入剖析此創新觀點的理論框架，結合一系列中學課堂實踐案例，探討「參與式創造力」的具體運作，並分享多元教學工具與可行策略，支援教育工作者在教學中有效應用，同時展示師生在協作環境中所培育的創意成果。期望參加者能藉此深化對此概念的理解，掌握具體實踐方法，從而建構能促進學生潛能發揮，在充滿創意的學習環境中茁壯成長。
