초록
As a human creature, we are living in the world as a sociocultural being. This is a simple truth, but it offers a deep and profound proposition when it comes to learning, teaching, and schooling. Through the lens of Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, which spotlights the importance of social interaction and cultural intervention in individual development and learning, this paper sheds new light on the sociocultural understanding of creativity development. Specifically, in a move away from a dichotomous understanding of creativity in terms of Little ‘c’ and Big ‘C,’ this paper adopts an idea of Mediating ‘C’ which falls in-between laid out by the individual creative development and its relation to sociocultural and cooperative learning and intervention. This approach sharply contrasts with the traditional view of creativity as an individual trait and a final product. In order to accomplish this, this paper firstly fills in the research gap with the current literature in studies and theories of creativity from a Vygotskian perspective on creative processes. Especially, it focuses on how the creative development is mediated and facilitated in the sequence of imitative, instructed, and collaborative learning, which results in one of the most important Vygotskain themes: the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). Furthermore, as the focus of the sociocultural theory is often associated with children’s practices as a form of play, the discussion of the pedagogical implications will be also situated on the importance of playful instruction and collaboration that help develop learners’ mediating ‘C’ creativity.
Abstract
As a human creature, we are living in the world as a sociocultural being. This is a simple truth, but it offers a deep and profound proposition when it comes to learning, teaching, and schooling. Through the lens of Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, which spotlights the importance of social interaction and cultural intervention in individual development and learning, this paper sheds new light on the sociocultural understanding of creativity development. Specifically, in a move away from a dichotomous understanding of creativity in terms of Little ‘c’ and Big ‘C,’ this paper adopts an idea of Mediating ‘C’ which falls in-between laid out by the individual creative development and its relation to sociocultural and cooperative learning and intervention. This approach sharply contrasts with the traditional view of creativity as an individual trait and a final product. In order to accomplish this, this paper firstly fills in the research gap with the current literature in studies and theories of creativity from a Vygotskian perspective on creative processes. Especially, it focuses on how the creative development is mediated and facilitated in the sequence of imitative, instructed, and collaborative learning, which results in one of the most important Vygotskain themes: the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD).
