Abstract

Open peer commentary on the article “Catching the Big Fish: A 4E-Cognition Approach to Creativity in STEAM Education” by Ronnie Videla, Tomas Veloz & María Carolina Pino. Abstract: Understanding creativity in STEAM education from the 4E perspective is a virtuous idea. In my commentary, I focus on critically evaluating the author’s fish-catching metaphor to discuss interaction’s role in creativity further. Furthermore, I will raise the issue of constitutiveness regarding environmental factors used in the creative experience.
