Generating creativity
Generating creativity
The idea of generating creativity in a classroom setup is tied up with learning, idea generation and individual creativity.
Learning is an ongoing process which impact the potential and performance of an individual (Pang, 2015).
Idea generation refers to the ability to initiate new and unique ideas based on the given situations (Pang, 2015).
Creativity is the tendency to generate new and useful ideas (Pang, 2015).
According to Guilford (1950), “a creative act is an instance of learning, for it represents a change in behaviour that is due to stimulation and/or response” (p. 446).

That in return increases the productivity level of an individual (How Does Environment Influence Creative Thinking? , 2020) .
- Colour:
