\nWhen we think of creativity applied to education, the first thing that comes to mind are different manifestations of artistic expression;\u00a0but we forget that creativity and another related concept such as innovation refer to much more, to a way of “being” and “being” in the world.<\/p>\n

Among the multiple definitions of creativity, we are left with two for adapting to the title and content of this article.\u00a0The Dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) defines it as the power to create or the ability to create.\u00a0Another more specific definition<\/a>\u00a0is \u201cthe process of coming up with original ideas that have value\u201d.<\/p>\n

Regarding innovation, the RAE explains that it is the creation or modification of a product and its introduction into a market.\u00a0For\u00a0Ken Robinson<\/a>\u00a0, British writer and speaker, specialist in creativity and education, innovation consists of the act of applying new ideas to enhance the value of a company, an organization or society in general.<\/p>\n

Close but not the same<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In the educational context, innovation includes those initiatives and proposals that seek to improve the educational system and make it more efficient.\u00a0It is a\u00a0constantly evolving process<\/a>\u00a0based on the research, development and implementation of new ideas and approaches to improve the quality of education.<\/p>\n

Although both concepts are linked,\u00a0they do not mean the same thing<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0In order to innovate, imagination is necessary, which is one of the foundations of creativity, as well as more elements such as observation and critical thinking.\u00a0Another factor of great educational value is inclusion, which is always present in a creative classroom.<\/p>\n

Creativity as a sustainable model<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If we mention sustainability in the classroom, we are referring to the ability to remain over time without running out or causing damage.\u00a0Although the term is associated with ecology and the environment, it can also be used in other contexts in the social sphere, such as classrooms in formal education.<\/p>\n

A classroom education model is “sustainable” when it uses parameters of inclusion and development of the unique talent of each student.\u00a0Education becomes personalized and organic.<\/p>\n

The current educational system follows an industrial, standardized and conformist model;\u00a0Children are educated with the premises of fast food regardless of the characteristics of each one, when in reality the talents and abilities are as diverse as the students.\u00a0Although this is changing all over the world, because the vision of education in the 20th century is not the same as in the 21st century.<\/p>\n
