Default Critically analyse

The question is

Critically analyse how creativity and creative learning can support young children’s emotional, social, intellectual, communication and physical development.

What is throwing me off is the critically analyse part, to me critically analyse means to give a detailed assessment giving the pros and cons of the concept.

Not really sure how to go about doing this as i see creativity and creative learning as a positive part of learning.

Would the development of a child be the pro and the con be adult intervention that may hinder their development if the adult takes over the learning process of dealing with problem solving, or not providing sufficient resources to promote creativitity ????????

Really struggling to get my head round this and any help or advice would be appreciated
Shellyjoe

Hi shellyjoe,
hopefully this might help get you started on the negatives:

Creativity and creative learning is dependent on the child’s approach. Whilst many children, especially in early years find it easy to express themselves in creative terms, as children become older they can become more self conscious and develop inhibitions which prevent them from successfully accessing creative learning. Observations and connections have been made between the success of creative learning and a child’s wiliness to access it. Some practitioners have noted that low to middle ability learners enjoy creative learning whilst high ability learners may be reluctant to, or struggle to take part. If there is reluctance on the child’s part development of SPICE could be inhibited rather than promoted as the child becomes more withdrawn and reluctant.
There are also cultural and gender limits to creative learning and creativity. Some parents, especially from African and Middle Eastern cultures, have set views on gender roles and believe boys should be encouraged academically rather than creatively. This can inhibit children’s development in terms of SPICE if they find their school life in conflict with their home life. Practitioners have noted that boys from these backgrounds do struggle to participate in some aspects of creativity and creative learning and that when they do they exhibit very competitive behaviour. They struggle to work socially – tending to be more dominate and less willing to work cooperatively in a group. They can be much more physical in their approach – grabbing things, holding on to them, being slightly rougher or more aggressive in their approach to equipment. Intellectually they can exhibit more mature approaches, quickly progressing from exploration to investigation, for example, discovering how shapes go together to create something. Emotionally they can be quite immature in terms of creativity – being reluctant to share, take part, co-operate. They can be prone to sulking if they don’t get their own way, are made to share or encouraged to be part of the group rather than dominating it.
It is therefore important that we encourage their parents to give them time to explore all aspects of the curriculum and demonstrate how creativity and creative learning in Early years can benefit them more when they enter KS1.
best wishes
mrs noah

I think I shall be linking these in with this answer:
Encourages independence
Skills to materials at hand
Increase to become more deeply involved in tasks
Think outside the box
Encourages imagination
Increases self confidence
Can tie into other areas of learning
(Dancing - physical, shapes ~ mathematics, etc)
Form identity, sense of self
Individuality
Encourages hobbies
Become a team player, adapt a role
Social belonging
Express themselves freely

Maria Montessori had some good theories which are good to look into and explain my thinkig more.
Hope this helps.
