Creative Collaboration in Teaching focuses on the question of how best to facilitate creative collaboration
among students in the classroom setting—with a focus on music composition and from the perspective of
social-cultural psychology. This book is comprehensive, cutting-edge and scholarly in its approach. Marcelo
Giglio's attention to music and creativity is detailed enough to satisfy any researcher, educator or teacher
educator; but at the same time, his research approach, classroom observations and overriding
recommendations can be easily applied to a wide range of subject areas. Giglio combines a rigorous review
of the relevant literatures on creativity and social interactions with the reporting and analysis of his own
original data across the world, and then goes on to support this important work with detailed descriptions
of classroom episodes—student-to-student and teacher-to-student interactions. By combining these three
elements, this book offers socio-creative and pedagogical models for education in practice as well as
teacher education and research.

Marcelo Giglio is Professor and Head of research projects at the HEP-BEJUNE and Lecturer at the Institute
of Psychology and Education of the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Author of three books and several
articles in different languages, Giglio is known in educational circles for his works on reflective and creative
collaboration in the classroom, teacher-students relationship in creative settings, and teacher training
transformations during educational changes. He embodies the rare combination of educational researcher,
theorist with school experiences and training. During the past years, Giglio and colleagues have been
involved in the design of flexible and creative pedagogical sequences and in the studies on the creative and
collaborative learning; the teacher practices; and the new methods to achieve more creative curriculum,
teaching, teacher education, and research.
