Evolving Creativity

"This book challenges the assumption that creativity is culture-free. Fostering creativity in the young has gained unprecedented attention in China, one of the most vigorous world economies today. This book examines Chinese kindergarten teachers' interpretations of creativity in relation to their ideas of children's learning and cognition, using grounded data. It discusses how their practice is influenced by their social and cultural environment, schooling experiences and professional training and how these determine their interpretations of creativity and children's learning."--Jacket.
