A expressão da criatividade na aprendizagem da leitura e da escrita: Um estudo de caso

Abstract

This paper has the purpose of highlighting the ways through which creativity is expressed in the child's learning of how to read and write. The theoretical assumption taken is the concept of creative learning developed by Mitjáns Martínez. According to such conception, creative processes emerge in the context of the individual's action, through subjective resources that are historically constructed and are organized in the moment of concrete action. The expression of this type of learning has been configured by the personalization of information, confrontation with data, and by the generation and production of new ideas that go beyond what is taken for granted. The guiding axis adopted is qualitative research, supported by the principles of the qualitative epistemology developed by González Rey, with the option of conducting a case study utilizing open and semi-open tools, such as: conversational dynamics, observations, interviews as a process and a diary of ideas. The investigation took place in a public school, among 1st and 2nd graders, in which we monitored the learners for two years in a row. As a conclusion, we consider that the expression of creativity in learning how to read and write was significantly presented by the characteristics emphasized by the author mentioned above, as well as by the playful relationship of the child with his/her learning.
