A model that is differentiated from the prevalent pedagogical concepts is inspired by values and principles that form the core of a synergetic education and a social and solidarity economy. From an epistemological perspective, "ssociationnisme" that social and solidarity economy promotes is at stake and education must play an important role. The paper also examines the attitude of students towards such a perspective, mainly through exploring the current options as well as its potential expansion thereof in a way that promotes creativity and innovation. This study draws on previous research by P. Vathi (2014) on the topic of "A multidimensional-interdisciplinary approach and evaluation of University students' creativity, with emphasis on the utilization of statistical analyses" in order to assess the influence of education on students' creativity展开更多
