Collaborative Musical Creativity between Students and Adults: The Sonorous Paella
2021
While creativity is a key element of contemporary curriculum frameworks around the world, it is still insufficiently fostered in formal education settings. This study analyzes a project for collaborative musical creativity, entitled The Sonorous Paella. Participants (N = 12) were eight Year 4 secondary students, two professional musicians, an artist-in-residence, and a music teacher. Drawing on a graphic musical score, the participants worked together for 1.5 months to produce a group composition and performance. They were provided with various sound producers (instruments, everyday objects, technological devices) and were encouraged to flexibly utilize the physical space to maximize collab…

Teaching Programming to Large Student Groups through Test Driven Development - Comparing Established Methods with Teaching based on Test Driven Devel…
2016
This paper presents an approach for teaching programming in large university classes based on test driven development (TDD) methods. The approach aims at giving the students an industry-like environment already in their education and introduces full automation and feedback programming classes through unit testing. The focus for this paper is to compare the novel approach with existing teaching methods. It does so by comparing introduction to programming classes in two institutions. One university ran a TDD teaching process with fully automated assessments and feedback, while the other ran a more traditional on-line environment with manual assessments and feedback. The TDD approach has clear…
Solutions to replace quantity with quality in science.
2012
In their recent letter, Joern Fischer and others [1xAcademia's obsession with quantity. Fischer, J. et al. Trends Ecol. Evol. 2012; 27: 463–474See all References[1] tackled one of the major problems in modern science: the obsession with quantity. Perspicaciously, they showed how targeting for quantity has faded out creativity and reflection from science. Fischer and others ended their letter with the words: ‘Starting with our own university departments (but not stopping there), it is time to take stock of what we are doing. We must recreate spaces for reflection, personal relationships, and depth. More does not equal better.’ Utopian as it may be, we applaud this statement.Unfortunately, Fi…

The urban project as a project of modification
2015
The essay “The urban project as a project of modification” focuses on three different aspects: the architecture as a disciplinary corpus of spatial composition of the space, the city as Carlo Cattaneo describes it, as: "the principle of all histories" and finally the definition following the concept of creativity, as modification of the existing (Vittorio Gregotti). This triad of key words - that has connoted the title of the Summer School, edition 2014 - reflects on the relationship that has been developed in the twentieth century between architectural design and urban planning, but above all concentrating on a possible new relationship in response to the growing needs of the cities and se…

The Economic Value of Creativity: How Much, for Whom, and What for?
2017
The following chapter deals with the value od creativity in media management. The first part is a literature-based reflection on different perspectives on the value of creativity. While creativity generally is considered a core value of media products, I will argue that not all aspects of creativity are equally economically valuable and, thus, it is not in the best interest of media managers to maximize creative value. I will then change perspectives and address the question of the value of creativity for the individual media worker. The second part of this chapter combines the perspectives of the predominantly economically oriented media managers with that of the predominantly culturally o…
