[Note from Brian, in The Journey of Discipleship, in relation to this value: "The concept of creativity relates to the idea of the Holy Spirit within creating a child with Mary, the creation of the Church in ACTs and the expression of individual gifts in each of us."]
Existing Online: Original thought and expression that converts, for the first time,new ideas, images or concepts into practical and concrete forms.
Proposed: (Creativity) The capacity for expressing and applying original thought & images.
Rationale: Simpler. No need for the word Ideation in label
New Label: Creative Ideation Old Label: Creativity/Ideation
Final: Creativity. Transforming ideas and images into concrete form.
suggestion:
ReplyDeleteexpressing original thoughts and images in such a way that they become converted into practical and concrete forms
rationale
keeping some of the simplicity that Gunther has used and keeping aspect of this value being about the conversion of the thoughts and images into something real.
But wait there's more! have put ideas back in the descriptor:
ReplyDeleteexpressing original thoughts, ideas and images in such a way that they become converted into practical and concrete forms
rationale:
each time i read the descriptor i include the word ideas
i believe the label benefits from having ideation as part of it as it stops people from jumping to their definition of creativity
I like Dougals suggestion - and support the need for the conversion of the creative invention into something - defining the thoughts as "original" means we don't also need "for the first time" from the original
ReplyDeleteI don't think creativity is necessarily original. Is there another value that takes this into consideration?
ReplyDeleteAlso, the purpose or result of creativity is not always practical.
Suggestion: Personal expression of ideas into concrete forms.
Since we are doing our best to ensure the value descriptors are mutually exclusive, originality can be left out since it exists in: pioneerism/innovation/progress & research/originality/knowledge.
ReplyDeleteFrom WordNet:
ReplyDeleteCreativity. (creativity, creativeness, creative thinking) -- the ability to create.
Ideation, -- the process of forming and relating ideas.
The word ideation is used a lot in psychology when exploring people's ability to make sense of the world around them through having the capacity to associate ideas.
