NOTES It is most commonly known as a person’s capacity to act logically, in full understanding and with self-awareness, emotional knowledge and planning. A concept most widely studied in humans, the term intelligence is derived from the Latin verb intelligere, meaning (literally) to comprehend or to perceive. Creativity, on the other hand, operates alongside intelligence. Scholarly interest in creativity and its operations (especially in the field of education) has been increasing over the past decade and many theories have emerged in this field. This book Intelligence, Creativity and Education introduces the students to the stages of intellectual development, creativity development and compatibility between them at various levels of Education, and is divided into five units. This book has been written in the self-instructional mode (SIM) wherein each unit begins with an ‘Introduction’ to the topic followed by an outline of the ‘Unit Objectives’. The detailed content is then presented in a simple and an organized manner, interspersed with ‘Check Your Progress’ questions to test the understanding of the students. A ‘Summary’ along with a list of ‘Key Terms’ and a set of ‘Questions and Exercises’ is also provided at the end of each unit for effective recapitulation.
