Twórczość uczniów I etapu edukacyjnego w opinii nauczycieli

Abstract

Children’s creativity, which stimulates all of the cognitive and emotional processes, influences the development of their personality. It is also a natural therapeutic instrument as a child expresses their own thoughts and feelings through the process of creation. Literature distinguishes four main areas of children’s creativity: artistic, verbal, musical, and kinaesthetic. Both teachers’ knowledge on creativity and their sensitivity play a key role in the development of creativity in children within the school environment. This article presents my own qualitative research results on the perception of creativity of first stage students by their teachers. Six participants with strong preference for artistic tendencies were examined in the study. The conducted analysis showed that teachers’ preferences for artistic tendencies support an atmosphere suitable for artistic activities within the classroom.
