Creativity Development

Associated with Vocabulary Learning, we are also developing an area of work within Applaydu to look at Creativity. Creativity is another important area of development in young children, one which is related to many different aspects of children’s academic learning as well. We are currently preparing a research stream within Applaydu where we will be creating new content in collaboration with our colleagues at Gameloft to examine how apps can support the development of children’s creativity. Watch this space for the preliminary findings.

Summary

We are reviewing a sample of commercially available apps that claim to support primary school children’s creativity to assess their quality (based on research evidence) and whether features of apps such as review ratings or cost relate to their quality. 

We will also be designing and evaluating a digital activity or activities in terms of how they impact on children’s creativity.
