Developing a theoretical framework for the use of creative writing as a developmental tool in education and health care.

This approach (169247pdf) of author Sophie Nicholls:

‘For me the joy of writing is bound up in not knowing exactly where an idea will lead you but having the courage to go with the creative flow. I feel that I am growing as a writer and as a person.’

is impressive, in my understanding of creative writing.

Mercy Simataa obviously a wonderful question. I like what Stephen I. Ternyik suggested, however, creative writing is a whole different species from say healthcare. To create lyrics for songs, poetry, short stories, jokes, novellas, even a novel implies not only various but wildly diverse skillsets. Plus evaluating the output is subjective. How many authors were told in school that they were hopeless or lacked style or grace? The best movie scene to illustrate this conundrum was in Dead Poet society just seeing how Robin Williams taught poetry underlined that creativity takes so many paths. Steven King, George RR Martin, Neils Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, and numerous other authors at one time or another have stated that the more you write the better you write. (they said the more you read the better you write too) Maybe these: the volume of student works plus syllabus read could be incorporated into the framework you are developing. The thing that I worry about with your project is judging. To judge, evaluate, award prizes or scores is truly the anathema of creativity. There are very valid arguments that imply that even the Nobel prizes impede Science and Medicine in many instances. If you could devise something similar (not exact) to google's page rank or facebook's likes in your framework to dilute the subjectivity that would be fantastic. On a final note, a lot of writing courses seem to teach how to write a paper or dissertation focusing on well, at least 10 pages per assignment. Business students (I note where you teach) require creative short emails, internet memes, quick ideas that are sticky or involve marketing or persuasion. Mercy it would be nice if your framework could encourage more of these sorts of short exercises that would reflect our digital world better, not just for MBA programs

s but universities at large.

I hope this helped.

The framework of 5iN (5 Intelligences) is a very useful framework in assessing creative studies in any language.

Hi Mercy. There are several questions you need to answer, such as: will you take a postmodernist approach or modernist view of creative writing? Will the students be doing creative writing to develop their knowledge of discourse analysis and awareness of the power structures in society that are reflected in writing (postmodern), or is the goal to develop students' artistic capabilities and identities as artists (modernist)?

It sounds like you are coming from the field of Education. If you are doing research in order to explore effective teaching of creative writing with the focus on the pedagogy of the teacher, I would suggest using a social constructivist theoretical framework and perhaps a narrative inquiry or ethnography methodology. Questions might be: how did the teacher learn creative writing herself and what are her beliefs about how to teach creative writing? On the other hand, you can focus more on the students' development as writers and decide if you will look at the products of their writing or the process. Will they be a community of writers (workshop approach) or led by the teacher as expert? This could also follow a social constructivist framework through language, for example, using a methodology where workshop discussions could be recorded and analyzed, or writing portfolios examined to see development over time. Once you have your research questions, I think you will be able to choose an appropriate theoretical framework. Hope that helps.

This work seemed very good to me. It offers a very complete vision of the subject.

Thank you all for insightful answers.

A theoretical framework can one use to study the teaching of creative writing in schools is using the cooperative learning model and choose suitable methods and media audiovisual and create the student worksheet, choice suit material the student needed, such as create writing of a short paragraph, write a letter for Mom or for friends, write a poem, write songs lyrics, write short dialogue,

Hello, you can use brainstorming techniques.

I take your point, Maria! I am doing the same! The problem is that Polish students do not experience creativity in schools. It's only in creativity classes in college something starts to happen.

Maciej, maybe it is necessary to start a qualitative research in this area. Thanks for your voice.

Creative writing is any writing that goes outside the bounds of normal professional, journalistic, academic, or technical forms of literature, typically identified by an emphasis on narrative craft, character development, and the use of literary tropes or with various traditions of poetry and poetics
