創造性の本質と創造性の教育

抄録

Creativity consists in the healthy active nature of the human personality as such and the possibility to develop it is common to all men.
The end of education is the development of creativity. Creative education consists in establishing a psychological bond between the creative educator and the educand, and on the basis of this, to draw out the creative potential which lies hidden within the child. However, many conditions exist which tend to obstruct this type of education.
Such conditions are the education for examinations in a school-bound society, the perversion of structure and function of the school, a lack of creative mentality in the teacher, influence of ideas widely spread in society, demands of the industrial and vocational structures, and other factors connected with these obstructing conditions such as the mental structure of the Japanese and the peculiar nature of Japanese society.
In order to carry out creative education while facing these obstacles, all the individual teacher can do is to accept the given situation actively and develop his own vision.
