Abstract
The question of why creativity lacks effective integration in education warrants further exploration, especially regarding its various forms and contexts. This systematic review analyses empirical literature on factors influencing K-12 creative teaching until 2022, focusing on two facets: (a) diverse forms (for, with, integrated), and (b) ecological systems (individual, microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem) of creative teaching. Key findings reveal: (1) a predominant focus on the for form; (2) significant individual factors, particularly teachers’ beliefs and attitudes; and (3) a shift in environmental factors from positive to negative across micro to macro systems. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
