ABSTRACT This study systematically reviews Brazil's organizational creativity literature and discusses emerging themes that will enable the field's continued development. Creativity is related to developing and enhancing ideas and has been investigated over a broad scope of perspectives. A search was conducted in the SPELL electronic library from a gap identified in literature review research in the country. The results showed that the field is still young and endogenous, with few partnerships between authors. However, it was also evidenced that the research has gained strength in the last decade, with a tendency to grow. The most investigated themes were organizational creativity and team creativity. In addition, emerging themes such as sociomateriality, artificial intelligence, distributed creativity, polyarchism and ambidexterity, which can leverage the impact of organizational creativity research, are discussed. Finally, specific conditions of the Brazilian context are discussed and presented as a way for national research to contribute for theories of creativity in organizations. We used only the Scientific Periodics Electronic Library (SPELL). Thus, articles from national journals not part of this database were excluded. Further studies may expand research bases and focus on how the themes identified in the article impact organizational creativity and performance.

This article addresses the main typewriting habits of Portuguese poet Pedro Homem de Mello (1904–1984), as evidenced in documents belonging to the family’s private estate and scattered collections owned by public archives and libraries. After examining his work in several spheres of activity (his personal and professional correspondence, his newspaper collaborations and essays as a folklorist, and his work as an author and presenter of TV and radio programs), the essay focuses on material aspects of Homem de Mello’s literary typescripts, such as page management strategies, the use of coloured ribbons, the occurrence of mechanical errors, or the combination of handwritten corrections and carbon-paper duplicators as a favoured revision technique. It concludes by interrogating how the author’s multimodal typewriting ecosystem may have contributed to stylistic changes in his poetry, catalysing freer modes of expression in the traditional forms of his choice.

Abstract Creative Self-Efficacy (CSE) and Creative Personal Identity (CPI) are creative self-beliefs which act as creative achievement predictors in different contexts, including school. Brazilian theoretical studies suggest that characteristics of military school can inhibit creative expression. The question is raised whether the school environment can influence CSE and CPI. Therefore, the goal was to compare male and female students from military and civilian schools, in terms of CSE and IPC, in addition to verifying the interaction between the variables. Participants were 230 secondary school students, with a mean age of 16.07 years (SD = .92). The Short Scale of Creative Self (SSCS) and a sociodemographic questionnaire were used. No significant differences or interactions were observed, except for the higher IPC in women when compared to men. Thus, it is possible that the typical restrictions of the military model of education do not necessarily imply barriers to creativity.

The article presents the study, of a bibliographic nature, on teaching Mathematics from a creative and innovative perspective. By surveying articles on Mathematics teaching published in the Revista Ibero-Americana de Estudos em Educação, we sought to identify the role of pedagogical practices in breaking aversions to the mathematics curricular component. From the analyzes undertaken, it was possible to identify the following as practices of a creative and innovative nature: (i) student participation in proposing teaching material; (ii) use of mathematical games, interactive digital whiteboards, manipulative materials and literature books that allow students to discuss real situations in their daily lives; (iii) use of assistive technologies in a collective and collaborative way, favoring inclusive education. It was also found that all articles deal with practices in the context of teaching Mathematics in Basic Education, leaving the question of how practices occur in Higher Education, within the scope of teacher training courses.

This study aims to address the formative movement triggered by a creative and innovative dynamic printed in the Mathematics Pedagogical Residency Program at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) in a Lesson Study context. Qualitative in nature from an analytical-systemic perspective, it involved students from the Mathematics Degree course, guiding teachers from UFPR, preceptor teachers from schools in the state education network and elementary and high school students from these same schools. The data comes from observations and notes in the researchers' logbooks. The innovative and creative practices involved the development of exploratory tasks as a didactic strategy for planning classes on the topic "financial education". The result indicates that the training dynamics developed made it possible for residents to perceive that it is possible to develop a dynamic didactic process for teaching practice concerned with mathematical meaning and conceptual learning [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to analyze the (moderating) role of behavioral controls (BCs) in the relationship between incivility and creativity. This study fills a research gap by investigating how management controls can affect the relationship between incivility and individual creativity. Given that unpleasant interactions in the organizational environment hinder the proliferation and execution of ideas, it is up to organizations to provide environments that stimulate creativity, which is naturally achieved with the presence of controls. The findings indicate that top managers should pay close attention to the BCs used, as they can circumvent the negative effects of incivility and generate a positive effect on middle managers’ creativity. A survey was conducted with middle managers from 86 companies listed on the B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (B3). To test the hypotheses, the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique was used and, as an additional analysis, the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) technique. The results show that supervisor and coworker incivility positively influence the instigated incivility of managers. In turn, instigated incivility negatively influences the creativity of these managers. To mitigate these effects, the results suggest that organizations should use BCs to moderate the effects of instigated incivility on managers’ creativity. The conclusion is that BCs absorb and circumvent the negative effects of instigated incivility, favoring the proliferation of creativity. Thus, theoretical contributions on the role of management controls in the context of incivility and creativity emerge, as well as practical contributions on how organizations can use controls to circumvent incivility and make better use of individuals’ creativity.

In today’s conditions, namely, the establishment and development of the Ukrainian nation, its cultural and historical origins are of great significance. Ukraine is beginning to restore its position in the international arena, and therefore the issue of its cultural and artistic development in world art history, and the spread of famous artists and painters is relevant. One of them is Sviatoslav Hordynskyi, whose work was devoted to the research of the stages of development of the Ukrainian diaspora in Western Europe and the United States. Thus, the purpose of the work was to express the role of the work of the Ukrainian-American artist S. Hordynskyi in the process of developing monumental art. The research used the methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, deduction, historical, and generalisation. As a result, it was established that the spread of Ukrainian art history in the modern world is influenced by several factors. They are conditioned upon drastic socio-economic and political changes in the international arena. Accordingly, the Ukrainian nation, its art and culture are beginning their revival and general recognition in world art history. The research has established that S. Hordynskyi mostly used approaches that combined both Byzantine and Renaissance traditions, which is a distinctive feature in his monumental works. As a result, it has been proved that S. Hordynskyi managed to develop his specific performance style, which distinguished his vision of the holy face. Considering this, the research has demonstrated that one of the main approaches used by the art critic in the course of writing his works was the conceptual ideas of “Boichukism”. The practical value of the results obtained in this work is that they can be used to disseminate the works and ideas of S. Hordynskyi among contemporary Ukrainian painters and foreign ones.

The Brazilian Way ("jeitinho brasileiro", in Potuguese) is a social strategy that aims to solve problems through negotiations. Despite the importance of developing this skill from childhood, there is a lack of assessment tools for children. The objective of this study is to adapt the Questionnaire on the Brazilian Way - Individual Version for children by presenting evidence of validity and accuracy. Initially, we have worked with a sample of 131 participants. However, in an effort to primarily access children, eight participants were excluded due to being over the age of 13. Thus, the study works with a sample of 123 children, with a majority being girls (61.2%), with a mean age of 10.5 years (SD = 1.78), distributed from 1st to 7th grade of Elementary School, as follows: 7.4% from 1st and 2nd; 39.9% from 3rd and 4th; 37.4% from 5th and 6th; and 15.4% from 7th grade. After conducting exploratory factors analysis, the results indicate a coherent structure composed of two factors, whose content related to understanding the Brazilian Way ("jeitinho") runs through antisocial behaviors (11 items) and creativity (5 items). Together, these factors explain 37.5% of the variance and show satisfactory internal consistency, providing a useful measure for research and assessment of the construct with children samples.

Illness, but also caring for the ill and mourning the dead, requires allowing oneself to experience a different time, an embodied untimeliness where different rhythms coexist, removed from the speedy tumult of those for whom health is no immediate concern. Rather than a chronological flow, it is a kairotic time, which is sensitive to the context, and allows wanderings and repetitions, hesitations, and changes in pace[1]. Caring and mourning demands “untimeliness and disadjustment of the contemporary[2].” In that sense, the intimate experience of illness is comparable to a form of creativity.

Introduction: The concept of creativity is a term that has been studied to find an exact definition of it. The study aims is to analyze the various existing definitions of creativity to find a diversity of meanings of the same term. Methodology: The methodology used is based on a systematic review of the literature based on the principles of the PRISMA statement and which refers to the search for research in the Dialnet Plus, Scielo and Scopus databases. Results: The results found show the diversity of existing definitions of creativity and how these can be classified depending on their meaning into person, process, product or environment; focusing therefore these studies on understanding creativity as a mental process that is used for the resolution of a conflict from something original and novel. Conclusions: In short, as a conclusion, it is necessary to point out how the construct of creativity can be understood in different ways depending on the perspective in which it is studied, which leads to the fact that there is no generalized term for creativity and that it is so ambiguous.

This paper presents a new form of envisaging education. The rational being is considered as the focus of educational process in a universe which they exist, know, act upon, and transform with their actions. The reality to be understood is conceived as a universe of energy permanently becoming, assuming the basic postulate of Quantum Physics present in Alfred North Whitehead’s Philosophy of Organism. This postulate is expanded upon the paradigm of neuroscience, assuming that the brain is the material locus where the aim or concept that guides action originates, now seen as self-creation of the individual and their environment. Creativity also is linked up with individual and social epigenetics guided by aware knowing. We postulate a critical, active education, attentive to dynamism that science and technology bring to society.

In this contribution, the author presents a refoundation of transcendental phenomenology in terms of “generative phenomenology”. Four perspectives for entering this “generative phenomenology” are outlined – respectively through a consideration of being in phenomenology, creativity, ontogenesis and a reinterpretation of the very concept of the “transcendental” through a descent beneath the phenomenal sphere. This last perspective is developed in more detail and implements a methodological way, a way through the transcendental logic and a way through the structures of transcendentality (which are made explicit in the “generative matrix of the meaningformation” [Sinnbildung]).

There is a growing debate about the use of creativity for sustainable development, particularly in terms of increasing the creative potential of cities. However, studies based on the experiences and perspectives of leading authors in this area are limited. Greg Richards is a long-standing researcher on the application of creativity in various socio-economic sectors, including creative tourism, creative cities, economy, and creative industries. This study, based on a semi-structured interview conducted with Greg Richards, seeks to present some reflections and ideas for ways forward, considering the scenario before, during, and after the Covid-19 pandemic and its possible effects on the new economy. Particular attention is paid to the emerge of ‘glocal’ creativity, especially related to the UNESCO Creative Cities.

The creative cities have presented themselves as a new and distinct way of offering attractions to tourists, and these new possibilities have resulted in differentiated and unique experiences for those who not only enjoy but also frequently participate in the creative processes. As a result of this knowledge gap, this article has the following objectives: to relate what has recently been published in one of the main databases in the literature on creative cities and the tourist experience; to detect the objectives and contexts of research on creative cities and the tourist experience; and to identify what has been done in Recife - PE/Brazil - which is one of UNESCO’s creative cities - to encourage, enhance, and disseminate the creative potential of this city. As a methodology for selecting what has been published, criteria for article selection were established using keywords such as creative cities, tourism, and tourist experience. Furthermore, a synthesis of knowledge on this topic was possible, allowing perception of what is already known about the topic and what still needs to be researched, as well as pointing out directions for future investigations and some limitations of studies in this area. Because some study gaps were identified, it is possible to conclude that the themes of creative cities related to the tourist experience have the potential to be much more researched. The main limitation of this study is the fact that it is a systematic review of the literature, through only one database, and therefore, it is suggested as relevant for future research an updated systematic review, since many other works arise daily.

Creative processes and their relationship with social innovation are the central theme of this study because they are differentiating factors for companies in the face of current social and economic change scenarios. In this context, the question imposed is: how do creative processes relate to social innovation actions in the three large companies surveyed? The objective of this investigation, then, is to analyze the relationships between the creative process and social innovation practices in three organizations, based on 2020 sustainability reports. bibliographical and documental analysis through reports of three large companies, in a qualitative theoretical research. The organizations correspond to three different sectors of the economy that, for the purposes of this study, were named as "Company 1 - Clothing Industry and Trade", "Company 2 - Pulp Industry" and "Company 3 - Financial Institution". they are classified as large companies because they have more than a thousand employees and all have one of their headquarters in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre/RS. Among the results, it was observed that, of the three companies surveyed, the company with the greatest tendency towards social innovation is also the one with the most factors that promote the development of practices to make people more creative.

Based on a state-of-the-art study, the article aimed to analyze how the theme "Art and Science in teacher education" has been addressed in important Science Teaching events and journals over the last 20 years (2001-2021) in order to better understand the focus of researches that have been developed and the possibilities related to this theme. We found 77 papers which discussed the Art and Science relationship, most from the last decade, with only 19 focused on teacher education. Although few in number, such studies demonstrate several possibilities to explore based on the interdisciplinarity proposed by them (areas that can be related, target audience, strategies, and types of art), as well as contributions to teacher education, ranging from knowledge improvements to a more critical reflection, a rethinking of the teaching practice, reflections on oneself and one's own body and the development of creativity.

The use of management control levers can help organizations to assess results and minimize opportunistic behavior by managers. It can shape behavioral factors by providing a trigger, on occasion, to earnings management practices. The aim of the study is to analyze whether the use of management control levers affects the relationship between the behavioral factors of empowerment and creativity of managers and the propensity for earnings management. The sample is composed of 82 respondents (managers of Brazilian companies), for data processing, the structural equation was used. The results suggest that companies that prioritize the use of management control levers by threshold and diagnostic systems create barriers to earnings management practices. On the other hand, companies with the use of management control levers through belief and interactive systems make room for managers to exercise the opportunistic behavior of earnings management.

Resumo O presente estudo visou adicionar evidências de validade à Escala de Potencial Criativo no Trabalho, por meio da investigação da influência de variáveis relacionadas ao sujeito (gênero, idade e nível de escolaridade) e ao ambiente organizacional (tempo de empresa) nos resultados do teste e investigar a precisão do instrumento por meio do método de teste e reteste. A amostra foi composta por 371 participantes, com idade média de 33,1 anos, funcionários de empresas de pequeno a grande porte. Nenhuma das variáveis se mostrou significativa nos dois fatores do instrumento (bloqueios e barreiras à criatividade; atributos e características que favorecem a criatividade). Somente três interações se mostraram significativas (sexo x idade no Fator 1; escolaridade x idade no Fator 1; idade x tempo no Fator 2). A precisão se mostrou adequada (r = 0,650 no Fator 1 e r = 0,729 no Fator 2). Estudos voltados à investigação de outras qualidades psicométricas do instrumento são recomendados.

Design has evolved into a comprehensive discipline, its core areas (communication, product, spaces, web, service) are a fraction of its wide-ranging outcome which has expanded into specialized fields of knowledge. The creative process greatly depends on previously acquired cognitive knowledge (socio-cultural and moral values). This usually originates within a cultural context, that provides visual, audio, and kinaesthetic manifestations, requiring interpretations and understanding of both the designer and the end-user. Design education had to adapt and evolve accordingly, applying methodologies and encompassing a transdisciplinary approach involving research, art, materials, technology, processes, and human interactions in the development of design solutions, emphasizing understanding over output. Global culture and cultural expressions have created a need in design schools to foster understanding, encouraging students to ask questions and develop awareness of wide-ranging design manifestations, thus addressing a variety of subjects without prejudice of individual beliefs. This learning and sharing of experiences can produce meaningful results, considering that civilization is influenced by cultural interactions, regarding users and products/services. These are assessed as good/bad and beautiful/ugly, depending on specific cultural background and distinct interpretations. Cultural unawareness impairs individuals to develop creative thinking and accordingly innovative solutions. The issue presents itself, how to encourage creativity among design students, many unaware of their cultural background, thus overcoming the fear of failure, developing curiosity, applying research methodologies, and engaging in discussions that foster a mindfulness about design.

The article is devoted to studying the application of visualization in teaching students the disciplines "Mass Communication Psychology", "Creative Design in Advertising and Public Relations" and training "Methods for Activating Creative Abilities" in preparing specialists in public relations, advertising, and media communications at Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University. The main purpose of this study is to introduce visualization as a methodological support tool in the educational process for forming a creative environment among students. The method of included observation in the educational process was used in the research, and examples of tasks for group and creative classroom work were developed. The results showed that most students use familiar, structural-logical schemes when visualizing the answer and rarely apply non-standard forms of information reflection. This served as a trigger for us to develop tasks and techniques stimulating figurative thinking in students. The data obtained can help in further study of the introduction of visualization in the educational process and lead to the revision or reformatting of curricula and an increase in creative assignments.

This paper aims to discuss the differences in the treatment of technical pro-gress determinants, therefore, productivity and economic growth in Celso Furtado’s work. Two of his major books are compared in detail: Desenvolvimento e subdesen­volvimento [Development and underdevelopment] from 1961, and Criatividade e de­pendência na civilização industrial [Creativity and dependency in the industrial civili­zation] from 1978. The general argument is that the differences in Furtardo’s interpretation related to technical progress determinants in these two books are an important aspect of the author’s ideas’ evolution and can illuminate the impor-tant changes in his theoretical perspectives that occurred during the 1970s.

In the last decades, the interest in creativity has grown significantly; its importance is related to the impact on the performance of companies since creativity is defined as the root of innovation. Even though research has been quite fruitful in many disciplines, its study in small and medium enterprises has been less explored. This article reviews the literature on creativity in small and medium enterprises and aims to establish proposals for future research. A bibliometric analysis was developed to achieve the objective mentioned above, considering the construction of scientific maps, performance analysis, and graphic maps. Additionally, a content analysis of the selected articles to establish the variables studied around creativity. The study has shown that it is necessary to increase research on creativity in small and medium businesses in a wide variety of topics. Therefore we offer a valuable framework to resolve existing gaps and guide future researchers.

Advertising creativity has been scarcely operationalized and, considering the irregular lists of formats drawn up to date, few are the studies that have addressed the classification of the formulas or sources that help to create advertising messages. The aim of this study is to make a contribution in this respect by positing audiovisual narrative genres as useful and prolific sources for gaining strategic insights and establishing creative concepts. To this end, a content analysis was performed on a sample of 411 ads picking up awards or shortlisted at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity (2009-2018). Besides the audiovisual genre, positioning and product categories are also examined. The results indicate the importance of genres, especially comedy and drama, in advertising, while providing several practical pointers as regards their strategic and creative implications.

The article is devoted to the study and identification of ways to increase the development of the motivational and value component of the creativity of first-year students. The authors actualize the problem of activating professionally-oriented creative activity of students in the modern educational process, specify the concept of professional creativity. In the study, the authors identify and theoretically substantiate the ways of developing the motivational and value component of the creativity of first-year students in the educational space of the university on the example of the Belgorod Institute of Arts and Culture, offering an experimental model of the gradual development of professional creativity. A practical study of the development of the motivational and value component of the creativity of first-year students, which formed the basis of the general theory of professional creativity, was conducted.

This study aimed to analyze the effects of the diagnostic and interactive use of the performance measurement system (PMS) on organizational learning and improvisational and compositional creativity, considering the moderating effects of competitive intensity. A survey was carried out with education technology startups (EdTechs) of the Brazilian ecosystem, and the data were analyzed with structural equation modeling. The findings suggest a positive association of the use (diagnostic and interactive) of the PMS with organizational learning and of the latter with creativity (improvisational and compositional). Organizational learning mediates the relationship between PMS use and compositional creativity. In addition, the competitive intensity positively moderates the relationship between organizational learning and creativity (improvisational and compositional). The study aggregates new evidence of PMS use relative to organizational learning, extends the discussion on organizational learning to different levels of novelty in creativity (improvisational and compositional), and contributes to a flow of studies exploring the moderating role of competitive intensity. Subsidies for startup managers to conduct their activities in search of organizational learning and employee creativity are also presented.

The centrality of the proposal of this article is to discuss to what extent the investigation of the semi-diversity of culture reveals an atmosphere, whose power is capable of fostering creative and innovative explosions to the Creative Industries. In fact, given its configuration and complexity such an atmosphere is established in the extreme creative chaos, which is the basis of any innovative process. Certainly, culture points to a privileged articulation to apprehend the unpredictable mechanisms of creativity, whose character is established in disruptive innovations. It is certainly that such research shows that this path opens up for the engendering of unprecedented formats and products, thus expanding the field of coverage of a Creative and Cultural Economy.

Gianni Rodari gave us an ideology of childhood that revolutionized the way we interpret its experiences and with them the educational proposals. The category of Fantasy has become a lens through which to read a world that, for the first time, appeared fabulous, incorrupt, creative and, above all, competent. On the other hand, and in stark contrast, the adult pan-paedagogism turned out to be boring, reactionary, moralistic and even harmful. The Rodarian utopia begins to fade already in the 1980s when the educational but also economic values of technological pragmatism (Bini G., 2000) are imposed. These reflections try to compare that image of childhood with the one we see today in the school, among the gears of technology, in the reverent attitude that adults give to digital natives. The investigation has an interpretative nature and follows a qualitative approach while making use of the quantitative contributions of previous research conducted on the subject.

Abstract Policy-makers and scholars agree that creativity and socio-emotional competencies can be taught, learned, and enhanced through creative arts like theatre. Nevertheless, few authors have studied the processes underlying both constructs in artistic education, which would permit to understand how children develop them and re-create adapted methodologies. Thus, we proposed to observe a drama pedagogy training for elementary school children, evaluating their creative thinking and theory-of-mind. To understand perspective-thinking as a process underlying creative thinking and theory-of-mind in the context of drama pedagogy training. Quasi-experimental pre-post-test design. Standardized tests analysis, plus thematic analysis from observation of 240 minutes recording of drama pedagogy training. Higher increase in creative thinking with a strong effect of drama pedagogy training on divergent thinking. Thematic analyses showed that drama pedagogy training activities focus mainly on socio-emotional competency (linked to theory-of-mind). Perspective-taking appears as an underlying process that explains both creative thinking and the development of socio-emotional competencies by permitting the child to see from another person’s perspective, providing several ideas-solutions for a problem (creative thinking), as well as understanding other people’s emotions and motivations (theory-of-mind).

In this research we intend to study the role of art in the creative process, in engineering courses at the Federal Technological University of Paraná (UTFPR), as a factor of technological innovation. It is a qualitative research that is characterized, as a method, for adopting a naturalistic and descriptive perspective. The sample is composed of students and graduates (10); by teachers, coordinators and directors of Education and the Pato Branco Campus (10); Dean (1); Entrepreneurs (4). In the analysis and discussion of results, from semi-structured interviews, we opted for Content Analysis having in perspective the Theory of Social Representations of Moscovici (1978). Among the main conclusions, we highlight the valorization of creative, interpersonal and communicative skills, as fundamental competences in the formation of an engineer. It is also highlighted that the role of art in engineering can enhance creativity and constitute it as a factor of technological innovation. This being able to promote the imagination and the capacity for abstraction necessary and fundamental in the design of projects in engineering and in the communicational plan. The integration of art in formal training, at the moment, does not constitute an institutional option nor does it contribute to a significant dialogical relationship between curricular activities and extracurricular artistic activities (“Grupo de Teatro Artífice” of UTFPR). Keywords: Higher Education, Engineering, Art, Creativity, Communication, Culture

Poet Fernando Pessoa and psychiatrist C. G. Jung developed their works consonant with their biographies. Both described episodes that can be interpreted as mediumistic, seeking to understand them psychologically. In current psychological literature, mediumship is associated to the concept of personality dissociation. In this regard, this article examines the relationship between dissociation and mediumship based on Pessoa's and Jung's biographical episodes, in light of analytical psychology and anomalistic psychology. It is hypothesized that they experienced creative, non-pathological dissociations, although some level of suffering was involved. Pessoa's experiences are related to his hetoronymic production, whereas Jung's are tied with the development of his psychological model, which offers elements for a psychobiographical and artistic study of the poet.

This article highlights part of the research carried out in the professional Master in Education and New Technologies, in a teaching institution and by the research group of a federal public university, which investigate issues related to the design of inclusion and other aspects associated with creative and collective actions for the implementation of interface design projects for applications and podcasts. From a demand to generate new ideas, procedures were applied for this purpose, to supply different educational contexts. The methodology is based on research-application, through which researchers adopt collective practices to develop and apply to more creative design proposals or problem solving (Plomp et al., 2018). After that experience, three procedures or techniques for generating creative ideas and collectively were studied and applied: Brainstorming; Design Thinking and Sprint. In this way, we seek to discuss in this article how procedures to stimulate creativity can serve to engage learners to implement collaborative projects in the classroom or even for different educational needs that seek inter-subjective relationships and interactions. The following authors are highlighted in the theoretical support: Bender (2015); Behrens (2014); Fleith (2001; 2006), Valente and Almeida (2014), Garcia and Czeszak (2019), among others. The results, still preliminary, guide the possibilities of a framework of good practices that align procedures that generate creative ideas, based on the support of active methodologies, for the development of educational projects, as long as the participation of students is considered positive, consistent and engaged.
