Developing Intelligence and Creativity in Education: Insights from the Space–Time Continuum

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Creativity and Learning

Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in Creativity and Culture ((PASCC))

Abstract

In this chapter, we address the problem of designing an educational system for the development of both intelligence and creativity. Whereas the traditional education system has been designed for the development of intelligence and competencies, the sociocultural evolution that generated the Information Society calls for creativity as a key learning objective. This requires an understanding of the relationship between intelligence and creativity, which can be achieved through the theoretical framework provided by the space–time continuum (Corazza and Lubart in Journal of Intelligence 9:1, 2021). By purposely defining pedagogical space and pedagogical time, the space–time continuum can be applied to the case of educational systems, for which the four quadrants assume specific meaning in terms of pedagogical experiences and methodologies. Existing as well as future educational system models can be mapped over the space–time continuum. The final discussion concerns the design of a new educational system for the optimal development of both intelligence and creativity, exploiting a balanced approach which intercepts all of the four quadrants in the space–time continuum.
