Se desarrolló una tecnología para incrementar proactivamente la productividad del recurso humano, particularmente para la construcción de vivienda en Yucatán. El modelo teórico considera el efecto de cada uno de los tres tipos de factores: los de insumo, los de proceso y los del contexto que rodea al sitio donde se realiza la obra. El procedimiento de aplicación consta de dos etapas principales: la creación de una base de datos y el análisis de nuevos proyectos. En la primera, se selecciona una actividad de construcción y se recaba la información básica sobre los indicadores de los factores y de la productividad, incluyendo el número necesario de proyectos para poder aplicar el análisis estadístico. En la segunda, ya constituida la base se pueden tratar los nuevos casos en los que se podrán tomar decisiones proactivas para modificar la productividad. Para validar la tecnología se analizaron dos proyectos de construcción de vivienda. En ellos se pudieron contrastar las diferencias en los resultados entre tomar la decisión de actuar proactivamente y no tomarla. Los resultados de la productividad obtenidos de ambos proyectos fueron diferentes, siendo superiores en el caso en donde se tomó la decisión de adoptar una conducta proactiva.

“…Stouffer, Russell and Oliva (2004, p. 5) address this view by indicating that "it is far too common a notion that creativity is an inherent gift that one either does or does not possess" Consequently, most individuals who recognize themselves as uncreative, do not take any action on self-growth towards a more creative attitude and do not participate in intentional idea development attempts. Counter to this view is the prospect that creativity is a process (Osborn, 1953;Torrance, 1963;Farid, El-Sharkawy, & Austin, 1993) and "not only can it be taught, it is taught effectively at all levels of education, from kindergarten to graduate school" (Stouffer, et al, 2004, p.5).…”

Idea creation is significant to all disciplines, yet it is even more crucial for entrepreneurs since the process of entrepreneurship requires new and novel ideas in all phases. Ideation should be taught and implemented in an intentional and systematic approach in order to increase the efficiency of idea generation in entrepreneurial activity. Systematic ideation is comprised of a series of steps including observation, building the right ideation team, using multiple thinking methods and idea generation methods together and validating the idea for further improvement. Many of the entrepreneurship programs teach students the process of entrepreneurship after the individual comes forth with an idea, focusing on developing personal skills and business models required for a successful venture. Little attention and focus is dedicated to the initial step of idea creation. Systematic approach to teaching and implementing ideation would fill this gap in entrepreneurship education and field.

“…(Torrance, 1963(Torrance, , 1977. Farid, El-Sharkawy, and Austin (1993) described creativity as the awareness, observation, imagination, conceptualization and rearrangement of existing elements to generate new ideas. Creativity is typically defined as behaviors or thoughts that are both novel/original and adaptive/useful.…”

Creative teaching is one of the most effective teaching styles. On the other hand free-movement without any guidelines, has been misinterpreted as not usefulness and not effective. Enjoyment/ interest are the main factor of continuing an activity. Physical education is the main subject that can promote regular physical activity. This study examine if a creative intervention on physical education vs a free-movement intervention can affect enjoyment/interest on 4 th grade students. The results showedthat both intervention increased enjoyment/ interest.Moreover, the results showed that there was a difference in the effectiveness of the two interventions, with the free-movement intervention being perceived as more enjoyable/interesting than the CMIG intervention, F (1,128) = 7.63, p = 0.00. This study is suggesting that there is a need forfurther research in the components of the intervention in order to increase enjoyment/ interest. Moreover there are implications for more variables that could be examined.
