Özet

This selective integrative narrative review article examines creativity awareness as a critical cognitive state and highlights its intentional development in teaching and learning as part of essential 21st-century skill building. The article is organized around three interconnected themes: (1) Creativity as a 21st-century skill; (2) Exploring the journey to promoting creativity awareness in education: A multi-dimensional focus; and (3) Enhancing creativity awareness through research and science communication. Grounded in established and emerging research in the field, this review provides research-informed insights and practical recommendations for educators, researchers, and school counselors to recognize, appreciate, and promote creativity awareness in ways that contribute to more adaptive, innovative, and equitable educational environments.
