Estrategias didácticas para el desarrollo del pensamiento creativo en niños y niñas de 4 años del CEIS “Jesús Semprúm”

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to implement didactic strategies for the development of creative thinking in 4-year-old boys and girls of the CEIS "Jesus Semprúm" of the municipality of Píritu, Falcón state, where it was possible to verify through the application of the SWOT matrix and through direct observation, that during daily activities 4-year-old children have weaknesses in their creativity because some do not feel motivated, others do not concentrate, they repeat the same drawings, that is, it is difficult for them to express themselves freely and only do it to fulfill a task. On the other hand, the teacher is not applying adequate strategies to develop creativity and tends to fall into the routine. This study is nourished by the contributions of the humanist theory of Rogers (1980), in the constructivist conception of Vigotsky, (1988) and in the theory of multiple intelligences of Gardner (1999). It is framed within the qualitative research approach, with a socio-critical paradigm, Transformative Research-Action- Participatory method and the design is dialectical-reflective. It is aimed at teachers as key informants. Among the techniques, observation and interview were applied and as instruments the interview script and observation guide, which were analyzed through the technique of categorization and triangulation. All this merited applying an action plan which was executed with different activities and strategies, resulting in reflection and transformation by teachers. Concluding that to solve the situation described it was necessary to implement didactic strategies to develop creative thinking in girls and boys of 4 years.
