  1. Developing an Evaluation Strategy for the CETL in Creativity Dr Paul Martin

  2. What We Are • The University of Brighton Creativity Centre is half of ‘InQbate’ the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) in Creativity. • It is situated in the School of Environment and Technology behind Cockcroft Building

  3. Our Mission • To enhance Creativity in Learning • To enhance Creativity in Facilitating Learning • To enhance Creativity in the Creative Process

  4. Mission Achieved Through • The physical Creativity Centres activities • Projects in learning, facilitation and creativity + CDF projects • Developing a creative community • Working with InQbate and the wider CETL community • Researching aspects of creativity and disseminating findings

  5. Context and Variables • Physical space • Virtual space • Personal space • Context of activity • Facilitation

  6. Physical Space • The physical environment in which creativity takes place • Needs or preferences may vary with discipline eg; a studio for an artist or workshop for an engineer – or with personal likes or dislikes

  7. Virtual Space • E-connections between individuals and groups with the centre and with the wider world community • Creation of national and international interest groups and communities

  8. Personal Space • Shaped by a persons whole biography • By the individuals personal values, beliefs, perceptions, experiences • By cultural influences, family, friends, religion, society, gender, profession, trade, discipline etc. • By personal likes and dislikes

  9. Context of Activity • Attitude towards type of engagement with creativity influenced by :- • Rationale eg; work, business, personal gain, personal enjoyment etc. • Who else is present eg; assessor, line manager, tutor, friends, work colleagues etc.

  10. Facilitation • Transfer of knowledge to facilitation of meaning making / creativity • Traditional ‘Sage on the stage’ to ‘Guide on the side’ to ‘meddler in the middle’ or even ‘co-inquirer or creator’

  11. Underpinning Philosophy of Research • Knowledge socially constructed • Constructivist / Interpretavist • Therefore a mostly qualitative approach • Findings not necessarily generaliseable to all situations

  12. What We Want to Find Out • Need to refine questions about • Which types of space, furniture, environmental elements support creative process (cp) • Which technologies support the cp • Which types of facilitation support the cp

  13. Issues • How to carry out worthwhile research in an area of such wide, interactive and complex variables.

  14. Initial Research Methods • Time line observations • Facilitator / teacher evaluation forms • Centre feedback form • Booking / enquiry form info plus notes by centre staff

  15. 2nd Phase Research Methods • Initial research methods as appropriate plus • Learner / delegate evaluation forms covering their whole experience • Focus groups • Interviews with facilitators and learners • Filmed sessions

  16. Creative Community • If you are interested in joining us to research in this field and help create a community of research into creativity please contact me @ • (p.r.martin@brighton.ac.uk)
