Studying the degree of creativity of preschool children drawings

Journal Title: Acta Didactica Napocensia - Year 2010, Vol 3, Issue 4

Abstract

Our purpose is to offer children tasks so they can make drawings as diverse and different from each other whilst trying to avoid imitation. Achieving this goal involves the increase of children’s creativity. The paper is theoretically based on the consideration of creativity as the ability to create something new, original, and in accordance with reality (Mihaela Roco, 2004; H. Jaoui, 1975; Al. Roşca, 1981; Margaret A. Boden, 1992). The study focuses on expressive creativity, characterized by spontaneity and unconditioned freedom of expression, skills, all highlighted by the children's drawings. The research hypothesis is that: If students are given new information on various opportunities for diversification of a model, they will create more original drawings. The independent variable is the task preschoolers are given to resolve. The dependent variable is represented by the results of preschool children. The research was conducted at high preparatory group. The test included specific contents of several areas, such as: mathematics, decorative drawing, and practical skills. Children were involved in four experimental situations for comparative purposes, so as to assess the progress registered from one activity to another. In conclusion, at the end of the research we note that, if preschoolers are given new information regarding their opportunities to diversify a model, they will create more original drawings. The research is original because it proposes new experimental tests and evaluation grids.
