  • Norwegian Art and Crafts Teachers' Conceptions of Creativity
    Journal for Research in Arts and Sports Education Peer-reviewed article Vol. 4 | Nr. 1 | 2020 | pp. 1–18 Norwegian art and crafts teachers’ conceptions of creativity Brynjar Olafsson* University of South-Eastern Norway Abstract This study investigates Norwegian art and crafts teachers’ conceptions of creativity through the responses to a questionnaire from 791 teachers in compulsory education. The curriculum in Nor- way for compulsory education emphasizes the development of creativity in the art and crafts field more than in the other core subjects. However, the curriculum does not offer a clear definition of creativity or how creativity-related goals should be reached. According to prior research, teachers express different ideas about what creativity involves, and their conceptual understanding can affect their teaching practices. Results indicate that teachers hold beliefs that are in misalignment with recent literature, and a better conceptual understanding could support them in emphasizing cre- ativity in the classroom. This applies especially to individual creative capacity, assessment, and the role played by domain knowledge in education. Keywords: Art and crafts education; compulsory education; Norway; creativity Received: May, 2019; Accepted: November, 2019; Published: February, 2020 Introduction Creativity is recognized as a fundamental skill that is indispensable in a complex and ever-changing digital age (Craft, 2011). For this reason, the issue of creativity is receiv- ing increased attention within compulsory education in many countries (Beghetto & Kaufman, 2017). According to a recent Norwegian study, leaders of innovative production companies often identify creativity and experience as more important than formal education when seeking new employees (Svare, 2014). Despite creativity being highlighted in the national curriculum (Ministry of Education and Research, 2006), Gjærum and Gran (2016) posit that the Norwegian compulsory education system tends to depress creativity and demotivate students with significant emphasis on theoretical subjects.
