This book will describe the nature of creative thinking and learning in physics, and why it is
important. It will act as a guide for physics tutors in universities, and explains how to be
more creative whilst teaching physics, both in terms of promoting creative thinking in
students, and being creative in teaching. Examples of both approaches will be provided. Creative thinking and learning is a timely issue in physics, given the benefits of creative
thinking to the global economy, the emergence of AI (which will change the labour market
in favour of those with creative competences), and the need to attract more students to the study of physics through creative teaching methods. The book is structured in three parts focusing on the nature of creative thinking, creative
learning, and creative teaching and assessment. Practical examples will be included
throughout, and will highlight how creative teaching can greatly enhance the student
learning experience.
