This work aims to analyze the academic productive profile of students of a graduate program stricto sensu in education in order to identify possible indicative aspects of mental illness in this context. The study consists of a survey research with interpretation of quantitative data based on the constructs of the historical-cultural matrix. It was possible to identify that the academic production profile of the research participants does not correspond to what is idealized by CAPES. Most of them do not have exclusive dedication to study for master's or doctoral degrees, do not have enough time to meet the requirements, and have difficulties to produce. The signs of illness are related to the conformation and naturalization of pressure and wear, which shows alienation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article addresses creativity in teaching. It is intended to contribute with reflections that support innovating practices at school. The study is anchored in historical-cultural psychology which understands human being as skilled to re-signify senses. Addressing the constitution of human beings as a creative and creator being brings options in a time in which the teacher reproduces alienation processes. The context and the experienced relations are essential for the triggering of the creative process. Both interpersonal relations and work are marked by competitiveness, individualism flexibility and quickness. Such circumstance hinders the creative potential. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
