Abstract
espanolAunque la creatividad en la infancia temprana es un asunto de alto interes para la psicologia evolutiva y de la educacion, no existen demasiados estudios centrados en su evaluacion y descripcion, debido a las dificultades metodologicas que ello plantea. El objetivo de este trabajo es un analisis exploratorio de la creatividad en educacion infantil. Adicionalmente se han estudiado posibles diferencias en funcion del genero, caracteristicas evolutivas y otros aspectos de interes. Metodo: En el estudio participaron un total de 80 alumnos del segundo ciclo de educacion infantil (41 ninos y 39 ninas). Como instrumentos se consideraron dibujos infantiles y entrevistas posteriores a cada participante. Los datos obtenidos fueron analizados en base a diferentes indicadores creativos. Resultados: Los resultados obtenidos ponen de manifiesto el gran potencial creativo en la infancia temprana, asi como la tremenda utilidad de los instrumentos utilizados para evaluar las variables objeto de estudio. Conclusiones: El uso de metodologias de analisis cualitativo como alternativa de evaluacion, permite acceder a un analisis de la creatividad en la infancia temprana, ambito donde ademas no existen demasiados instrumentos estandarizados o con suficiente validez y fiabilidad. Se discuten implicaciones evolutivas y aplicadas en el contexto educativo infantil.
