“…The success of finding one's place in life is more and more dependent on personal qualities, creativity and imagination (Morgan, 2004). The more complex and demanding labor market is also putting higher demands on the school (Girdauskienė, 2013) and higher education, in particular teacher training, aiming to enhance the results of trainee teachers' ideas and activity (Hong et al, 2008). Hence, higher education is challenged to rediscover liberal values based on humanism and aim at a successful implementation of the study goals (Morgan, 2004;Haifeng, 2010;Miller, Imrie, Cox, 2014).…”

Researchers claim that teacher competence is mostly related to the skills of risk management and initiative (Hong et al, 2008), which result from personal creativity. Bradley (2011) believes that creativity is best revealed in the communities possessing a strong cultural background.…”
