Effects of
productivity goals creativity goals....1991...c. Shalley
Interesting that
when instructed to be creative and given productivity goals creative results
were higher. It seems simply being told to be creative results in more creative
behavior - I wonder how this related though to what the participants views are
about their own creative abilities - if a student does not think they are
creative adding the pressure of "be creative" might actually hurt
creative output. How could you test for this? Label tasks - use your 3rd idea-
or have no goals just an outcome - create a something .... You'd have to also
control for how they feel about the outcome (painting if they can't paint)

The three
primary theories of creativity are:
(1) Primary
Process Cognition, - creative people can switch easily from primary (dreaming)
to secondary cognition (reality based)
(2) Defocused
Attention - the number of elements a person can keep in mind at the same time,
and
(3) Associative
Hierarchies - the ability to bring unrelated remote ideas into contiguity
(Martindale,
1999, pp. 138-39).

Intrinsic motivation (doing something that one finds interesting or
personally meaningful) leads to higher levels of creativity than extrinsic
motivation (doing something in order to earn a reward or in anticipation of
having one’s work evaluated—to get a good grade). - See more at:

Teach
creative skills explicitly. According to Collard, “Creative skills
aren’t just about good ideas, they are about having the skills to make good
ideas happen.” He suggests creative skills should include 5 major areas:
·
Imagination
·
Being
disciplined or self-motivated.
·
Resiliency
·
Collaboration
·
Giving
responsibility to students. Have them develop their own projects.
