About SCG2026 Nurturing Creativity through Science and STEM

This course would introduce to participants generic pedagogical knowledge, strategies and skills for nurturing student creativity. They would be illustrated mainly through science and STEM learning activities. It would cover the cultivation of creativity-related attitudes, cognitive abilities, thinking strategies and metacognition. Participants would learn how to infuse creative learning elements into major curriculum models and approaches (e.g. inquiry-based and problem-based learning). Through generalization, ultimately, this course would inspire participants on how to teach for creativity across the curriculum. The course would adopt an experiential learning approach and provide rich opportunities for participants to experience - from engaging in hands-on science/STEM activities to designing creative learning activities, and from trying-out their teaching designs to critically evaluating them.
