Creativity has been identified by many as an important indicator of giftedness. In this chapter, we provide an introduction to the field of creativity. The chapter begins with a definition of creativity, followed by classic theories that reflect the history of creativity research. We then review and critique creativity assessments, an area of the field that has seen much recent activity. This critique is structured around the traditional framework of the 4P model, namely, person, product, process, and press (or context). The next section discusses pedagogical techniques and implications for fostering creativity. Finally, reflections are made to offer perspectives on future directions, with a few thoughts on globalization, collaboration, replication, and equity.

The present research started from the declared objective of increasing the visibility of rural entrepreneurship conceived in a new manner, which should highlight the innovative potential of local entrepreneurs as a condition of success and as a condition of accomplishing the level of well-being. The approach is justified by the identification of the role of innovation in shaping the profile of local entrepreneurs, the need for theoretical models which should illustrate conceptually and practically the relation between the level of innovation and the successful development of the business. The study started from underlining the main factors which determine economic development in the rural environment. The main objective of the study is to define a predictive model in the scope of sustaining innovative development among the investigated entrepreneurs.
Developing Creativity in the Classroom applies the most current theory and research on creativity to support the design of teaching and learning. Creative thinking and problem solving are at the heart of learning and application as students prepare for innovation-driven careers. This text debunks myths about creativity and teaching and, instead, illustrates productive conceptions of creative thinking and innovation, including a constructivist learning approach in which creative thinking enhances and strengthens conceptual understanding of the curriculum. Through models of teaching that support creativity and problem solving, this book extends the idea of a creative pedagogy to the four core curriculum domains. Developing Creativity in the Classroom focuses on explanations and examples of how creative thinking and deep learning merge to support engaging learning environments, rising to the challenge of developing 21st-century competencies.
