This deliverable aims to present the characteristics of learning environments that support teaching science by creativity-enriched inquiry. The specific characteristics will be presented in a generic framework (see section 2.2) that will be in alignment with the CREATIONS pedagogical framework.
The characteristics of the CREATIONS learning environments have been identified and developed considering: (1) partners’ inputs on a pro-forma template, requiring their contribution on the identification of specific characteristics regarding the learning environments (Annex A), (2) relative EU projects that aim to promote and support science teaching by creativity-enriched inquiry (PATHWAY, Discover the COSMOS, CREAT-IT) and (3) literature review on key elements and characteristics for the design of effective learning environments that enhance creativity and Inquiry-based approaches.
