LiJuan Huang | Adiza Alhassan Musah

Abstract: This study utilizes a literature review methodology to explore creativity in educational management. We searched for relevant articles using three key words: "creativity, " "educational management, " and "innovation in education. " Gathering data from a wide range of academic databases, the research delves deeply into the definitions of creativity and its theoretical models from perspectives of psychology, education, and management, such as the Four P Model, Systems Model, Input - Process - Output Model, and Dual Pathway Model. The review identifies key areas where creativity is applied within educational management, including the development of policies that promote creative environments, leadership styles, and teaching methods. It also discusses the influence of personal and psychological factors, as well as environmental and cultural factors, on creativity. Current research trends highlight an emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches, integration of digital technology, innovation in assessment methods, and the impact of educational policies, underlining the necessity for personalized learning paths. Lastly, the article calls for future research to expand the literature base, employ mixed methods, engage in cross - cultural comparative studies, explore new technologies, and develop new tools for assessing creativity, to more comprehensively understand and foster creativity development within the context of educational management.
