My Conceptions of Creativity and the Search for Its Meaning in Education

Abstract This paper records my conceptions of and search for the meanings of creativity. In the first part, I outline multiple meanings and processes of creativity I came across in the literature. In the second part, I share with readers my conceptions of creativity in education. In addition, I delineate my views and personal experiences in the teaching of creativity in an Asian context. I conclude the paper by examining some Japanese and Singaporean aspirations of nurturing creativity among the young.
