Historical Analysis of Approaches to The Formation of Creativity in Primary Education
Abstract
This article presents a historical analysis of approaches to fostering creativity in primary education, tracing the evolution of pedagogical thought and practice. Early theories often emphasized rote learning and memory-based approaches, yet experimental educators challenged these norms by advocating for methods that engaged children’s innate imagination. Present-day educators can benefit greatly by understanding historical trends and insights, integrating them into their own classroom practices to further enrich the creative capacity of young learners.
