• Broschiertes Buch

Investigating the role of imagination in teaching and learning in non-arts disciplines, this book shows that a lack of clarity about what imagination in higher education looks like impedes teachers fostering their students' creativity. It explores successful strategies educators can use to encourage their students' imagination.
