Creativity, imagination and curiosity also play a key role in knowledge generation
A small number of students did mention curiosity in their writing, for example:
Scientists need to be curious… to ask questions about the world and how it works.
(Jenny)
However, little reference was made to notions of creativity in most students’
early writing. When this did appear in any depth at all, it stood out starkly from
other students’ writing, for example:
It is this symbiosis between human thought and the articulation of our exploration
through experimentation that has allowed science to evolve with us. … For this reason,
the role of the creative imagination should not be discounted in the world of science.
… If I applied the same creativity I was being asked to develop in music, art
and English, to the sciences, that it would allow me access to a more versatile way of
problem solving and would ultimately afford me far more freedom to explore and
invent than would have otherwise been possible. (Luke)
