Perhaps, therefore, even the more practical approach of Houle is not really a practical one and more research needs to be undertaken in order to demonstrate this, as the research of Martin (1999) illustrates. His study was of art teachers in the United Kingdom who wished to teach creative art but whose learners wanted to learn to copy pictures, and so on. The lecturers recognized that if they taught the type of creative art that they wished to teach, encouraging the learners to be original and creative, they were in danger of their learners leaving their class, whereas if they taught the learners what they wanted, they would. keep them. The market was bound to prevail they could not implement a providers' model of the curriculum but it did create the possibility of role strain and declining job satisfaction for the lecturers. Such studies as this take us beyond the critical theoretical perspective and back to the practicalities of the teach ing and learning situation, and also demonstrate that most curriculum theory and programme planning are in the realms of grand theory and are illustrations of the gap between theory and. practice. Beisgen and Kraitchman (2003: 98) have offered a list of things that programme organizers might do to generate creativity among older learners:
provide the right environment.
provide opportunities to create
encourage ideas provide challenges;
help older adults not to be afraid to fail;
