Den avgörande kreativiteten : Internationella och svenska tendenser, aspekter, paradoxer och framåtblickande perspektiv i relation till kreativitet och utbildningslogiker i det senmoderna samhället

Sammanfattning: The aim for this study is to identify and analyze general trends, logics, and structures within the Swedish education system, and whether these are consistent with society's growing need for creative individuals. Furthermore, this study aims to identify possible tensions, paradoxes, and challenges regarding the role and function of creativity in relation to education. The aims have been approached by a problem-oriented method, based on a literature review as well as semi-structured interviews with key representatives of the Swedish education system. Overall the study has captured an international and national movement, where creativity in education on the basis of socio-economic, political, institutional, and individual embossed perspectives, has come to be a high priority. This development is based on a critique of today's knowledge-oriented education system, which is no longer considered compatible with today's society. The study has identified multidimensional barriers and opportunities for creativity in late modern education systems, and furthermore recognized creativity in education systems as an important aspect in how to address contemporary and future societal challenges.
