Yet, I didn't think about her remarkable calm with 22 little crazies or her creative instructions giving them imperceptible but necessary structure when I got her email about my son being Star of the Week.
Explicit creative instructions have also been shown to influence the relatedness of creative task performance to other measures of creativity (e.g., Harrington, 1975; see also Barron & Harrington, 1981; Chen, Himsel, Kasof, Greenberger, & Dmitrieva, 2006).
Interactive effects of frequency and instruction on creativity indicated higher response probabilities for low-frequency objects at the lowest scale point with a be-fluent instruction and at the two highest scale points with a be-creative instruction.
Whereas the fluency with high-frequency objects was higher in the standard compared to the "be-creative" instruction condition, the fluency with low-frequency objects remained roughly equal in both instruction conditions.
"There, too, individual students are obliged to meet the requirements of a pedestrian exam monolith, creative teaching is sacrificed to instruction and transmitting the right or approved answers, and students have an increasingly narrow quality of all-round education as higher education increasingly loses sight of its mission to educate the whole student".
The results of the study document the qualities of learning experiences in university classrooms during creative process instruction.

In his 2009 review of Mark McGurl's "The Program Era" (and in an accompanying audio interview with Blake Eskin), Menand related how the notion of a writer's voice became the focus of creative-writing instruction in the second half of the twentieth century: The creative-writing program, unsystematic or even anti-system as it might believe itself to be, is a system.
