Abstract

This chapter conceptualizes the approach to nurturing creativity in higher education. The chapter begins by describing the creative self based on personality theories discussed in the creativity research literature. This chapter then engages in the discussion of the contradiction between the concept of the creative self and some aspects of the current educational policies in Malaysia, in particular the implementation of outcome-based education (OBE) as outlined by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA). This chapter ends with the discussion of proposing the activity theory as a framework for creative education.
