Creative Learning in the BPS Shikshan Sansthan uses ethnographic research to consider the
main features of creative teaching and learning within the context of contemporary
policy reforms. In particular, the authors are interested in the clash between two
oppositional discourses - creativity and performativity - and how they are resolved
in creative teacher practice. The book complements previous work by these authors
on creative teaching by giving more consideration to creative learning.
The first section of the book explores the nature of creative teaching and learning
by examining four key features: relevance, control, ownership and innovation. The
authors devote a chapter to each of these aspects, outlining their properties and
illustrating them with a wide range of examples, mainly from recent practice in
primary schools.
