Secondary school preservice teachers’ references to the promotion of creativity in their master’s degree final projects
Abstract
What do preservice teachers think about creativity and the ways to promote it in their classes? In this study, we analyze the references to creativity that appear in the master’s degree final projects of a group of secondary school preservice teachers of mathematics. The projects hold the preservice teachers’ reflections on their own practice, but it is important to note that the master’s degree does not include any specific training in creativity. In our analysis, we first searched for explicit references to creativity in the projects and registered them. Then, we classified the comments depending on the elements of the teaching and learning process that are related to creativity in each case. We observe a good variety of comments and more than half of the preservice teachers mention creativity, although some of them just do it superficially.
