PLAYFUL-PEDAGOGICAL STRATEGY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CREATIVITY IN STUDENTS OF THE PREPARATORY SUB-LEVEL

Abstract

Creativity is the ability of children to produce original responses to a problem. It is a skill that is in all people and that can be developed. It is the ability to discover new alternatives, to use the imagination. It is important to stimulate it since they are small babies. Unfortunately, sometimes the student finds it difficult to develop this skill at an early age, they cannot carry out many activities on their own; but if we take care to stimulate them and give them freedom of action, we will be able to verify that their intelligence and creativity is much broader and more interesting than we might think. The objective of the article is to design a ludic-pedagogical strategy for the development of creativity in the students of the preparatory sub-level of the "Eleodoro González Cañarte" Fiscal Educational Unit. To carry out this work, a mixed methodology was used, which combined the quantitative and qualitative approaches of the research, which allowed the collection of data, as well as its analysis and interpretation. Theoretical methods such as bibliographical and synthetic analytical were used, and empirical methods, such as observation and statistics, in addition to instruments such as surveys and interviews; information that helped determine if the didactic strategy served to develop creativity in students. The results of the diagnosis made to the students, made it possible to verify that creativity should be encouraged, because they do not develop it adequately, which is due to the fact that the activities applied by the teachers present limitations. In addition, it was found that the proposal was applicable to develop students' creativity.
