Desarrollo de la creatividad con material reciclable en estudiantes bolivianos de Ciencias de la Educación
Developing Creativity with Recyclable Materials among Education Sciences Students in BoliviaContenido principal del artículo
La formación de la capacidad creadora en futuros docentes es esencial para diseñar experiencias educativas innovadoras y significativas en el siglo XXI. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar el impacto de una intervención educativa basada en el uso de material reciclable en el desarrollo de la creatividad en estudiantes de la carrera Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad Pública de El Alto, Bolivia. Este estudio cuasi-experimental aplicó un cuestionario pretest-postest a 40 estudiantes, empleando un diseño cuantitativo descriptivo para medir el impacto de la intervención. Los resultados demuestran que la intervención con material reciclable transformó significativamente la percepción y aplicación de la creatividad; se evidenció una reconceptualización unánime hacia crear nuevas cosas, superando nociones limitantes previas. Emotionalmente, predominó la alegría sobre respuestas superficiales. Los participantes desarrollaron una mentalidad de recursos creativa, superando la fijación funcional al identificar usos innovadores en materiales cotidianos. Se recomienda integrar estas experiencias sostenibles en la formación docente, con espacios curriculares específicos y seguimiento longitudinal del impacto profesional.
Building creative capacity in future teachers is essential for designing innovative and meaningful learning experiences in the twenty-first century. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of an educational intervention focused on the use of recyclable materials on students' creativity development in the Education Sciences program at the Public University of El Alto, Bolivia. A single-group, quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design was applied with 40 students. Results indicate that the intervention significantly enhanced both perceptions and applications of creativity; participants reported a unanimous reconceptualization toward generating novel products, overcoming prior limiting notions. Affective responses were predominantly positive, with joy emerging over surface-level reactions. Students developed a resourceful creative mindset, overcoming functional fixation by identifying innovative uses for everyday materials. It is recommended that these sustainability-oriented experiences be integrated into teacher education curricula, with dedicated course components and longitudinal follow-up to assess professional impact.
