ABSTRACT: This paper is about creativity and innovation in the educational field. Through
a literature review, we describe
the results of two decades of research on creativity and innovation in the educational
and organizational field, to underline
what seemed to work and what did not, to enable these processes functioning effectively. In this literature review, a search
of publications dealing with the issues of innovation and creativity and the links between these two issues
has been made. We decided to put these studies in four theoretical, ex-post created, dimensions: organizational structures, individual
characteristics, training methods and pedagogical practices and training content.
The content of this article is based on one of the outputs of the European Commission
funded project, named CLEAR (Creativity and innovation: pedagogical framework for
the learning chain).
