Academic literature on the topic 'Creative ability – Social aspects – Ethiopia'

In this chapter, social relationship patterns associated with outstanding innovation are described and explored. In doing so, the chapter draws upon the findings of 16 in-depth interviews with award-winning Australian innovators from science & technology and the creative industries. The interviews covered topics relating to various influences on individual innovation capacity and career development. For all of the participants, innovation was a highly social process. Although each had been recognised individually for their innovative success, none worked in isolation. The ability to generate innovative outcomes was grounded in certain types of interaction and collaboration. The chapter outlines the distinctive features of the social relationships which seem to be important to innovation, and ask which ‘social network capabilities’ might underlie the ability to create an optimal pattern of interpersonal relationships. The implications of these findings for universities play a key role in the development of nascent innovators.

This chapter draws together four concepts — resilience and flourishing, creativity and play — to explore the impact of poetry interventions in the lives of people with dementia living in a care facility. Participatory arts programmes can provide opportunities for people to be reminded of their humanness and re-membered as valuable human beings. Opportunities to be creative and engage with others contribute to resilience or the ability to transcend many dementia-associated losses. Through imaginative play, regardless of cognitive ability, people can express and/or enact important aspects of meaning and selfhood/personhood that might otherwise go unacknowledged in the care environment. While arts interventions may not be able to reverse cognitive decline, the case study points to ways that the poetry intervention creates a time–space in which people can ‘flourish’, express affinity with others, and foster social bonds, and how, in turn, these contribute to meaningful moments in people's lives.

The main goal of this paper is a theoretical and empirical analysis of selected aspects of entrepreneurship. The significance of this topic is mainly due to the role and impact of entrepreneurial activity on both the economic and social areas of the business units. Taking into consideration the variety and complexity of the entrepreneurship issues, its integral connection between economic sphere of activity and behavior, both individuals and society should be emphasized. In economic terms entrepreneurship is usually interpreted as the ability to solve business problems in creative and innovative way and its join also with the ability to use the opportunities and chances arising in business. Empirical studies aimed at to analyze and evaluate entrepreneurial attitudes have been carried out on the basis of data published by the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development, conducted as a part of the survey Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). Selected aspects of entrepreneurship in international perspective were analyzed. Particularly assessment of Poland relating to other countries were included.

The article reveals the conceptual, semantic and procedural aspects of the application of pedagogical technologies in the process of forming the reading competence of students of philology in classes on the history of Ukrainian literature during the study of Ukrainian neoclassicists. The notion of pedagogical technologies, reading competence of future linguists, neoclassicism is specified and their explanation in the field of methods of teaching Ukrainian literature is given. Thus, the interpretation of reading competence is based on establishing relationships between similar concepts of competencies and competencies, according to which reading competence is interpreted as a social norm alienated from the subject to the student’s educational training necessary for his quality productive activity in reading. Instead, it is proposed to call reading competence the acquired ability of a student acquired in the process of teaching literature, consisting of knowledge, skills, experience, values and attitudes, which are fully realized in the process of practice. In addition, the interpretation of reading competence as a subject and as a component of the professional competence of the future vocabulary allowed to outline a number of important for future vocabulary reading competencies. Modeling the development of students’ reading competence by means of a work of art is proposed to be carried out on the basis of problem-based learning technologies, group work and local technology of problem-style analysis. The peculiarities of integrated teaching of literary, psychological, pedagogical and methodological disciplines are revealed, in particular the importance of purposeful formation of innovative consciousness of students during their mastering of literary courses by detailed description of step - by - step procedure of achievement of planned didactic goal is emphasized. A notable feature of the procedural part of the technologicalization of the pedagogical process is the optimal interaction of forms of traditional and innovative learning. Theoretical provisions are illustrated by the example of designing pedagogical tools for organizing independent reading of poetry by students of M. Dry-Khmara in order to determine the bright constants and thematic-semantic paradigms of individual poetics of the famous representative of neoclassical literary style. For this purpose, the formation of student creative groups is envisaged, the number of which is determined by the number of discussed dominants of M. Dry-Khmara’s individual style, which have become peculiar carriers of the integrity of lyrical works: 1) antinomy «freedom – slavery»; 2) the dominant «blood»; 3) the dominant motive «dream» – «death» – «life». The specificity of this work is to develop an algorithm for an approximate system of tasks for problem-style analysis of works by each of the creative groups, the solution of which brings students closer to understanding the author’s style of neoclassical poet and prepares for analytical-synthetic conversation in the audience. The result of the work carried out by means of technologicalization of the educational process is an approximate report of one of the creative groups of students during the practical lesson. As a result, the leading features of technologicalization of the formation of reading competence of students of philology in the course of their study of the poetic works of Ukrainian neoclassicists are formulated.
