Art in Primary ITT Survey-HEI-Course Leader

The survey takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.

We are going to ask first about creativity. We understand creativity to refer to pedagogical processes which enrich and expand learning possibilities for students in any area of the curriculum. Our definition of a creative education is

-when students are able to use imagination and critical thinking to generate new and meaningful forms, possibilities and ideas;

-where they can take risks, be independent and flexible. 

We are also going to ask specifically about the creative arts. We understand the creative arts to include visual art, drama, dance, music, craft, as well as media, photography and creative writing.
