Abstract

There is an infinity of realized and potential creative things, creative ideas, and creative performances, and yet there is no such thing as creativity, at least not in the two ways most of us think about creativity. (1) There is no general essence of creativity, no indispensable factor or shared quality that is an intrinsic part of all creative ideas, performances, or products. Creativity and expertise are very different things, but what makes a painting, a scientific theory, or a dance performance creative varies across domains in the same way that what constitutes expertise varies in these different disciplines. (2) And just as learning what a haiku is will not increase one's expertise in cooking or cosmology, developing creative-thinking skills helpful in writing poetry will not make one a more creative chef or astronomer. Despite these constraints, it has been shown that creativity training can often result in more creative products, ideas, and performances, but primarily when trainers have put aside these two misguided and counter-productive ways to conceptualize creativity.

在没有创造力这种东西的情况下,如何教授创造力
已经实现的和潜在的创造性事物、创造性的想法和创造性的表现数不胜数,然而根本就没有所谓的创造力,至少我们大多数人对创造力的两种看法是这样的。(1)不存在创造力的一般本质,不存在所有创意、表演或产品的内在组成部分所不可或缺的因素或共有的品质。创造力和专业知识是完全不同的东西,但是绘画、科学理论或舞蹈表演的创造性在不同领域是不同的,就像专业知识的构成在不同学科中是不同的一样。(2)正如学习俳句不会增加一个人在烹饪或宇宙学方面的专业知识一样,培养有助于写诗的创造性思维技能也不会使一个人成为更有创造力的厨师或天文学家。尽管存在这些限制,但研究表明,创造力培训通常可以产生更有创意的产品、想法和表现,但前提是培训师抛开这两种误导和适得其反的方式来概念化创造力。
