Commentary: Expanding the Scope of Creativity Assessment: Integrating Everyday Creativity to Address 21st Century Complexities

ABSTRACT The OECD's PISA Creative Thinking (CT) Assessment, introduced as part of the PISA framework in 2022, marks a significant advancement in recognizing creativity as an essential skill for the 21st century. However, as with all new initiatives, a review of the PISA CT 2022 highlights certain limitations that could benefit from refinement in future iterations of the battery to achieve a more comprehensive and ecologically valid understanding of adolescent creative thinking. In this commentary, we argue for an expansion of the PISA CT's focus to include assessment of everyday creativity (EC), which reflects the practical and contextual realities of contemporary life.
