“…From 1970 throughout 1990ies, most of the studies focused on ways for fostering creative abilities in the classroom (Alencar, 1975;Alencar, Fleith, Shimabukuro, & Nobre, 1987). In the last two decades, it can be noticed that the focus of creativity research has switched from enhancing student's creativity to identifying factors that stimulate or inhibit creative talents in the educational setting (Alencar, 1995;Alencar & Fleith, 2004aAlencar, Fleith, & Martínez, 2001;Castro & Fleith, 2008;Pinheiro-Cavalcanti & Fleith, 2009;Fleith & Alencar, 2006Matos & Fleith, 2006;Sathler & Fleith, in press), as well as factors associated with high creative achievement (Alencar, 1997a;Alencar, Neves-Pereira, Ribeiro & Brandão, 1998;Prado & Fleith, 2010). In addition, instruments for assessing the level of a person's creativity and the climate for creativity have been developed (Alencar, 1999;Alencar & Fleith, 2004b, 2007, 2010Fleith & Alencar, 2005;Fleith, Almeida & Peixoto, in press;Wechsler, 2001).…”
