Our aim is to grow and support an eclectic, open and flexible network of researchers and thinkers who inspire each other to research creativity in education in all its forms, together with critical interrogation of the relationship between creativity and educational futures. CEEN’s members regularly collaborate on research and writing projects (e.g. ).
Students and colleagues from within and beyond 樱花动漫 and from any discipline are welcome to join CEEN. Please contact Professor Kerry Chappell for more information, to study with us or attend our events.
Our Creative Pedagogies Framework
Increasingly our CEEN research focuses on the development of our creativity and creative pedagogies framework. Whilst this is not exclusively applied in all our research, it underpins much of what we do. Rooted in theorisation of creativity as embodied, collaborative and dialogic, our conceptual framework originally focused on 12 creative pedagogies articulated within the project. Through this research 12 features became 8, which are often entwined to underpin the creativity research that happens in CEEN and CRETE:
- Dialogue
- Transdisciplinarity
- Individual, Collaborative and Communal Activities for Change
- Balance and Navigation
- Empowerment and Agency
- Risk, Immersion and Play
- Possibilities
- Ethics and Trusteeship
The framework and features have been applied, researched and adapted into toolkits in school settings (e.g. , , ) and Higher Education (e.g. , ) with papers published from school (e.g. ; ; ) and university (e.g. ) research sites. The framework also connects to , led by Centre member Dr Caitlin Kight.
If you would like to know more about the framework and how to adapt, apply and/or research it within your professional practice, using our toolkits, please get in touch with Kerry: k.a.chappell@exeter.ac.uk
