Education in the Creative Economy : Knowledge and Learning in the Age of Innovation Paperback / softback
Edited by Daniel Araya, Michael Adrian Peters
Paperback / softback
Description
Education in the Creative Economy explores the need for new forms of learning and education that are most conducive to supporting student development in a creative society.
Just as the assembly line shifted the key factor of production from labor to capital, digital networks are now shifting the key factor of production from capital to innovation.
Beyond conventional discussions on the knowledge economy, many scholars now suggest that digital technologies are fomenting a shift in advanced economies from mass production to cultural innovation.
This edited volume, which includes contributions from renowned scholars like Richard Florida, Charles Landry, and John Howkins, is a key resource for policymakers, researchers, teachers and journalists to assist them to better understand the contours of the creative economy and consider effective strategies for linking education to creative practice.
In addition to arguments for investing in the knowledge economy through STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering and math), this collection explores the growing importance of art, design and digital media as vehicles for creativity and innovation.
