摘要:AbstractWe have tried to approach the problem of fostering creativity in education from two distinct directions: First, in the project “iLab2 - Innovation Laboratories for the quality assurance of vocational education and training”, we acted on the learning environment. Then, in the project “Tecrino – teaching creativity in engineering”, we are working to create specially designed educational content for both teachers and students. This paper presents the philosophy and the preliminary results of these projects and suggests that a reformed school seems to be the only efficient social instrument for promoting creativity on a large scale.
