Developing student's creativity

Abstract

Encouraging creativity, as well as expressing and developing it, is a desirable goal of modern educational systems. In order for this to be implemented in practice, it is necessary to devise such a curriculum and provide conditions conducive to the creative behavior of teachers and students in the school. It is necessary to lay a good foundation for the creative expression of students and teachers. The social needs for creative members of society are growing, where the school is one of the institutions that plays an important role in educating young people and encouraging the development of creativity in students. Every society, at a certain time, respects, appreciates, emphasizes certain aspects as a feature of quality, therefore creative creators, if they do not adapt their work to these aspects, their work can be evaluated as not good enough, although in another social environment it might be rated as excellent. Compared to the former traditional teaching, today's teacher is more qualified and competent for the vocation that awaits them, both in the transfer of knowledge and in getting to know and respect the individual abilities and interests of each child in the class. The research was conducted through the Google questionnaire, in 2021, using a five-point Likert-type assessment scale in online form, based on which we determined the reflections of teachers on the developing student's creativity. The data obtained by the scaling technique and interpreted by the method of descriptive statistics provided a clear insight into the research results. By the analysis of the results obtained by this research, it was determined that primary school teachers, as well as subject teachers in their classes gladly apply creativity by using various creative methods and techniques in teaching, with various technical and material means and organizing classes outside school.
