Practical creativity and creative practices. Between the head and the hand

This research analyses transformative learning in relationship to workplace education, intertwining it with the theoretical frameworks of informal and incidental learning, and practice-based studies. We examine the contribution that a practice-based view of transformative learning offers to the study of creativity. From the literature, we adopted an interpretive case study approach involving 20 professional experts in creativity practices. The study aimed at drawing implications for a practicebased view of transformative learning in workplaces that prioritize creativity and innovation. We offer insights for practitioners and adult educators as to what types of learning paths they might construct to increase the performative potential of creative material practices.
