Topic definition, reasons for choosing, and how it relates to my interests
According to positive psychology, a phenomenon characterizing behavioral, personality, motivational, and social psychology (Compton & Hoffman, 2020), creativity refers to humans' capacity to develop emergent and novel ideas, concepts, and challenges to societal problems. It is a component of our lives and enhances humans' resilience, giving them joy, self-realization, and opportunities (Charyton et al., 2009). From the classroom or school perspective, creativity denotes the interaction connecting the physical and social learning setting, the features and attitudes of learners and educators, and an evident problem-solving process that generates a distinctive product (can be tangible or intangible). It entails developing something unique, significant, and helpful to the individual or persons who generated the thing within their social circumstance. This is very significant in education. For instance, an aspect relatively creative to a lower-class learner, such as discovering that a considerable incline on a gradient triggers items to roll quickly, would never be regarded as creative in a university learner. Creativity can as well be utilized to suggest emergent solutions to challenges in varying contexts, communities, and nations. An instance of this is distinct learning institutions solving a similar challenge and sharing solutions. Creativity is a significant component of learning that schools should implement in several ways in the learning environment. When trying something emergent, a creative concept is involved. There are distinct creativity levels, and this creativity increases with experience and time.
I chose to focus on creativity as a positive psychology intervention due to various reasons. Most importantly, the creativity topic from the positive psychology viewpoint is undoubtedly under-researched. Few studies have focused on investigating this topic, especially when relating it to its application in learning. Secondly, creativity is essential for schools as its application in the classroom context promotes students' performances, works hard beyond personal efforts, and encourages thinking outside the box. Creativity as a positive psychology topic or intervention relates to my area of interest. Specifically, I look forward to applying creativity in my career in the future because I believe that without creativity, solving problems, including the basic ones, would be problematic and relatively not practical. Being creative means having a valuable skill. Educators can apply several strategies to allow students to be increasingly creative in everything they do. Creativity is a valuable tool in education since it develops cognitive complexity or capacity in children. According to the cognitive learning theory, this is significant since the cognitive capacity can allow them to solve problems effectively (Swann, 2013). This positive psychology intervention heavily depends on acquiring a profound...
