Abstract / Description
"Creativity" is not easily defined and therefore is difficult to assess. Yet we still need to work towards a way to "provide an infrastructure to defend and support marking decisions" about assessment (Bloxham & Boyd 2007 p.88) that recognises creativity within our own pedagogic context. With particular reference to Art, Media and Design, this paper explores how departments could develop a language of creativity that works towards reinforcing meaning and interpretation, not only for formative and summative assessment, but also for grade and level descriptors, curriculum design, and subject benchmark statements.
