Creativity And Education
Authors : Ghenim Neema . Mohamed Ben Ahmed .
Abstract
Abstract This article is about creativity in education. It includes a dichotomy between authoritarian and authoritative teaching and the relevance of creativity within these two perspectives of teaching, not to say two philosophies in education. There are two distinguished examples in literature that epitomises these two types of teaching. Mr Gradgrind, a famous example in British literature is taken as a model of authoritarian teaching. And Mr Kitting, a professor of literature in the American movie “Dead Poets Society” is taken as an example of authoritative teaching. Who is more positive to creativity in education: an authoritarian or an authoritative teacher? Is it beneficial for a language learner to be creative? The article proves that authoritative teaching is open to creativity in comparison to authoritarian teaching that inhibits creativity in general.
