Abstract
Creativity is considered to be an important life skill for adulthood. This thesis compares the dominant cognitive approach and the emerging sociomaterial approaches in the field of creativity and learning. The cognitive approach theorizes primarily from an individual perspective and focuses on the cognitive processes behind creativity and learning. The environment serves as a means to obtain input but is not considered to have an active influence on these cognitive processes. Sociomaterial approaches view creativity and learning as existing within a network. Within this network, the individual, the social aspect, and the limits of materiality appear equally important. Interactions and materials are viewed to be active participators in the creative process. Contrasts between these two approaches raise the question of whether creativity can be developed through education. Future directions could aim at further studying the effects materiality and the social component have regarding learning. Implications of this comparison could require the incorporation of aspects of both approaches into research and policies to consider how the educational field is organized.
