Aquest treball de final de màster té com a objectiu principal la creació d'un spot publicitari per a englobar el contingut de la unitat didàctica "Organització, disseny i producció d'informació digital", inclosa a l'assignatura TIC (Informàtica) de 4t d'ESO. L'objectiu d'aquesta unitat és ensenyar als alumnes les diferents fases del procés de producció d'una campanya publicitària, des de la idea fins a la postproducció, i així capacitar-los per a crear les seves pròpies campanyes publicitàries. En aquesta memòria s'exposa la metodologia utilitzada per a la creació del spot publicitari, a través de la qual s'ajuda a millorar el treball i l'aprenentatge autònom dels alumnes, i sobretot, afavorir el desenvolupament de la seva creativitat. Un aspecte que en molts casos és deixat de banda en els centres educatius.

The innovation practice presented here aims to investigate the creative synergies extracted from the various intersections generated between architecture and literature through its incardination in the teaching field. It is based on the concept of "defamiliarization", in which the introduction of another discipline (literature) interferes in an architectural or design program, trying to trigger creative processes. Through a graphic approach, a relationship is established between the stories of Invisible cities (Calvino, 1972) and their architectural decline, interpreted under the leitmotif of “the landscapes of abandonment”. The development of the exercises, raised with a high degree of indeterminacy, seeks not only to provide the student with design tools but also to consolidate critical judgment and adjust, through the analytical-educational process, the convergences of thought and the graphic method., La práctica de innovación aquí presentada tiene por objeto indagar en las sinergias creativas extraídas de las diversas intersecciones generadas entre arquitectura y la literatura a través de su incardinación en el ámbito docente. Se basa en el concepto de “desfamiliarización”, en el que la introducción de otra disciplina (la literatura) interfiere en un programa arquitectónico o de diseño, pretendiendo desencadenar procesos creativos. A través de una aproximación gráfica, se establece una relación entre los relatos de Las ciudades invisibles (Calvino, 1972) y su declinación arquitectónica, interpretados bajo el leitmotiv de “los paisajes del abandono”. El desarrollo de los ejercicios, planteados con un alto grado de indeterminación, procura no solo dotar al alumno de herramientas de diseño sino de consolidar el juicio crítico y ajustar, mediante el proceso analítico-educativo, las convergencias del pensamiento y el método gráfico., Peer Reviewed

Purpose: The main objective of this research is to determine if the number of days teleworked gradually influences the causal relationship between Ethical Leadership and Creativity among university-educated employees together with the aspect of their interaction. Design/methodology/approach: To decipher this question, a simple moderation scheme is chosen. The sample is 448 workers who are evaluated online. Findings: Ethical Leadership and Creativity are related in a convex way; that is, the ethical extremes, low or high, negatively, or positively influence creative performance, in that order. In addition, the intensity of Teleworking favors the integration between Ethical Leadership and original ideas; On the other hand, when remote work is reduced to one day a week, the relationship between Ethical Leadership and Creativity is neutralized. Finally, the self-perception of Creativity is lower in the female gender. Research limitations/implications: It is a cross-sectional study, but the results can be transferred to the entire Colombian energy industry since the sample was taken at different stages and obtained from various sources. Future research can delve into the e-ethics role of ethical leadership Practical Implications: The transition from conventional to electronic leadership needs to be influenced by strong ethical values to avoid leadership styles such as intrusive or abusive leadership that do not consider employee welfare as a priority. In addition, hybrid work alternatives that combine remote days with on-site days make it essential to consider that very low-intensity Teleworking substantially reduces individual Creativity. Social Implications: The public energy industries in underdeveloped countries whose main mission is to serve the neediest social spheres cannot take their eyes off the common interest. When this happens, corruption proliferates, and inequalities widen. Originality/Value: This research presents a theoretical model that extends the exist, Peer Reviewed

A pesar de que la creatividad es una característica esencial de la actividad científica, pocas veces se proponen actividades de aprendizaje para desarrollar explícitamente las habilidades creativas en las clases de ciencias. En este estudio se analiza cómo se puede contribuir a su desarrollo en los estudiantes de secundaria. Con éste objetivo, se ha diseñado una colección de actividades para desarrollar diferentes habilidades creativas, se han implementado en un grupo de 37 estudiantes de 4º de la ESO y se ha analizado, a través de sus producciones, cómo éstas han promovido sus habilidades creativas. Los resultados sugieren que la introducción de estas actividades potencian la creatividad de los estudiantes en ciencias. Así pues, se han identificado algunos elementos clave que se pueden introducir en la enseñanza de las ciencias para fomentar la competencia creativa., Peer Reviewed, Postprint (published version)

This dissertation focuses on two timely phenomena in organizational behavior: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and creativity. AI is rapidly spreading in organizations and can now perform "creative" tasks that used to be the cornerstone of humans. I focus on how the performance of "creative" tasks--e.g., recruiting or producing visual content--by AI impacts human agents' attitudes and behaviors. As creativity is a social process, I expand the focus to study how group errors relate to workplace creativity. Folk theories are the theoretical fil rouge of this dissertation: Folk theories guide assessments and decisions when individuals are faced with ambiguous circumstances, such as evaluating a painting made by AI, interpreting the occurrence of an error, or the selection of new recruits. In Essay I build on folk psychology to examine whether people evaluate creativity of a target differently when they are told that the producer is AI or human. With four experimental studies I found that people sometimes discount the creativity of a production when it is described as made by AI rather than humans, but also that this bias is not ubiquitous, and rather depends on influences both internal and external to the evaluator. In Essay 2 I study how the utilization of AI in recruitment impacts job applicants' attraction to an organization. Building on signaling theory, with four experimental studies I show that warmth (but not competence) perceptions drive the influence of the recruiter's identity as AI (vs human) on recruitment outcomes. This indirect effect is moderated by job applicants' familiarity with AI. In Essay 3, taking a threat-rigidity perspective, I study how the occurrence of errors can engender creativity in teams through appraisals of errors as threats and opportunities, and how need for closure moderates the impact of errors on appraisals.

This article is written about the main problems of increasing young pupils’ creative thinking skills and their solvings. In this article there are thoughts about the value of measures which are organised for developing pupils of primary classes and for improving their intellectualcreative ability.

This article is about the theoretical and practical foundations of developing the creative abilities of primary school students. Based on the above, we can conclude that the psychological aspect of the development of creative ability involves goal-oriented activities related to the identification of motivating motives, goals of creativity, specific features, as well as thinking operations, subjective analysis of logical processes underlying them.

The article discusses how the improvement of the content of education is inextricably linked with the knowledge of the teacher, pedagogical techniques and skills to apply pedagogical technologies in the education system. The effectiveness of a teacher's professional activity is reflected in the knowledge, skills and competencies acquired by students. The student's independent activity is thought to be related to the extent to which logical thinking has developed on the basis of his or her free thought. The main criteria for the technology of monitoring and evaluation of student knowledge are: "independence in the learning process", "activity in the educational process", "and the level of development of creative abilities." &nbsp

This article discusses innovative methods of teaching literature on distance learning at the present stage education.

In a world dominated by standardization, the future of humanity depends on educating creative people. An original, useful and valuable idea cannot be obtained through standardized processes or an internet search. This communication collects the results of an investigation carried out with focus groups, consisting of two groups of students (Junior and Senior) and a group of teachers, from the Architecture Degree at San Jorge University. The research aim was to learn about the participant’s percetions about creativity and discover what attitudes and methods encourage or impede its development. Open questions about the topic were posed to rise discussions among participants. Afterwards, the dialogues were analyzed according to the three keys to developing creativity in the classroom proposed by Robert Sternberg: generating opportunities, fostering creativity and rewarding thecreative effort., En un mundo dominado por la estandarización, el futuro de la humanidad depende de educar personas creativas.

Department: Exhibition and Experience Design., Advisors: Cowan, Brenda. Committee members: Brenda Cowan; Christina Lyons; Umilta Allsop., Free will is closely linked to the concepts of moral responsibility, guilt, self-creation, creativity, and other judgements which require actions that are freely chosen. There is no definition of free will that is accepted by all parties, but we can find its existence in the creative process. If all our actions and thoughts are determined by cause and effect, then we cannot create anything new. Therefore, free will is necessary for genuine creativity.

In this thesis, I investigate the effectiveness of incentives for creative tasks. While organizations value and pursue creativity, they must also promote the efficient use of limited resources. Prior research finds that incentives, despite being a key control mechanism, are ineffective for simultaneously encouraging both creativity and efficiency. However, this relatively recent literature has not yet examined how critical attributes relating to individuals, tasks, and incentives may influence incentive efficacy. I conduct two studies to examine the differential effects of combined creativity and quantity incentives for (1) individuals with different creative capacities, (2) distinct types of creative tasks, and (3) varying strengths of incentives. In the first study, I focus on individual creative capacity, which is a crucial, yet unexplored characteristic of individuals engaged in creative tasks. Using an experiment, I hypothesize and find that combined creativity and quantity incentives lead to sustained high creative performance for individuals with high creative capacity. Thus, contrary to prior beliefs that combined creativity and quantity incentives are ineffective, I show that they can be effective for the type of individuals typically employed for creative work. In the second study, I examine creative tasks with pre-specified problems, which is a prevalent task type that is under-studied in the prior literature. Contrary to expectations, my experiment results show that combined creativity and quantity incentives can be detrimental to creative tasks with pre-specified problems. Comparing my study with prior studies on pre-specified problems, I note that incentive efficacy appears to be sensitive to incentive strength. Therefore, I design a follow-up experiment to examine the effect of different incentive strengths on the performance in a pre-specified task. I find that, for pre-specified tasks, combined creativity and quantity incentives are detrimental to p

Generar ideas es un trabajo difícil porque nadie enseña a hacerlo. No forma parte de la cultura que se recibe. Cualquier directivo conoce las herramientas fundamentales de organización de la producción o de la contabilidad y las finanzas. Por otro lado, la evaluación de la calidad de una idea es algo complicado, porque no existe una fórmula para ello. Hay que advertir que la creatividad necesita una determinada actitud, basada en el mantenimiento de una curiosidad vital. Desde la perspectiva empresarial la creatividad es un catalizador para la creación de empresas y la mejora continua. Los emprendedores parten de una idea a la que le suman capacidades, habilidades y recursos para definir una oportunidad de negocio sobre la que elaboran su particular plan de empresa. Por otro lado, la generación de ideas es el origen de un proceso de mejora continua, que es fundamental para una empresa, y para cualquier ámbito de la vida., Postprint (author's final draft)

The basis of my research and studio practice is to investigate the processes of creating and remembering and their significance for identity development and the subsequent perception of one’s world. I argue that the development of the self is built upon our memory of the experiences we have had rather than the objects to which we identify ourselves.Through my individual work in ceramics and collaborative sculptural engagement with others that acknowledge the ever-present condition of impermanence, my research focuses on experience and what remains after the original signifier (the object made) no longer exists. Experience and memory then become the attenuators of present moment perception, both of our world and of ourselves. This engagement emphasizes the process of making, the suggestion of remembered forms, and of energies that lead to dissolution.My thesis will argue that through the act of creating, remembering is engaged as new memories are formed, and the experience supersedes the objects created. Ultimately, it is this experience and its memory, its residual essence, that the individual uses to construct the lens through which they see, and ultimately create, their world. Through this process I argue it is that which we carry inside ourselves, our memory of our experiences, and not the things and memorabilia with which we surround ourselves, that create our individual worlds and ourselves.

Reflection on architectural practice as a window into the future. Starting from the collection of various trades, architect, cook and artist (Álvaro Siza, Ferran Adrià and Oscar Tusquets) who establish a physical and open dialogue on different ways of materializing the technological process. Understanding this, as the construction of one's own thinking and not as a mechanical action that leads to solve a problem. In this way I see architecture as a discipline that can only be conceived through the relationship between three concepts that are characteristic of the architectural process: thought, creation and innovation. Meaning these three terms, condition, path and renewal with a visual outline: the collective objective. In this way, systems, ingredients and prototypes are gradually presented as instruments for discovering, sensitizing and helping to rethink the principles and values of building habitats. Opening doors to different ways of understanding our own discipline allowing me to develop it from new approaches. In this sense, the architect must align himself with this model, where the line of action prioritizes urban renewal in response to a collective need through the application of new technologies. Barcelona is known all over the world; precisely because of the sum of its capacity for urban transformation and its architecture, which is the instrument that makes it possible

Upward income mobility has decreased across all income distributions in many societies around the world. Responding to these developments, scholars have called for investigations into the various mechanisms that explain the ‘class ceiling’ effect. Individuals’ social class can be easily detected, and may color how individuals are evaluated and judged by others at the workplace. By considering the aspect of creativity judgment, this dissertation explores the impact of employee social class from the perspective of evaluators (e.g., supervisor, hiring manager). By integrating the fundamental principles of the Categorization Theory (Rosch, 1978) with Implicit Creativity Theories (ICTs) and Stereotyping, I examine how the social class background of individuals relates to creativity judgments of these individuals by others at work. I argue that the ICTs – qualities generally ascribed to a creative person, termed as ‘creativity prototypes’ – are stereotypically associated with individuals from an upper social class background, and therefore, individuals from an upper social class background are often perceived to be more creative than individuals from a lower social class background. I hypothesized that creativity prototype recognition mediates the effects of the social class background of an employee, and hence judgment of employee’s creativity at the workplace. To outline this mediation, I examined the perceivers’ belief in entity theory, and belief in just world, and the age of the perceiver as an individual level moderating factors that influence the tendency to rely on stereotypes in judging others, as evident in the mediated relationship between social class and creativity. I cross-validated and further developed Sternberg’s (1985) scale of ICTs and assessed the generalizability of the ICTs scale. The main theoretical arguments of this thesis were empirically tested in an experimental study and a multi-wave survey study. Results provided support for the view that cre

Modera Jordi Ojeda., A continuación la nota de prensa de la editorial, El proceso creativo literario tiene una gran parte de misterio. Cómo los escritores logran crear un universo propio a través de un trabajo eminentemente solitario es algo que cuesta, a veces, incluso verbalizar. Aunque el cine siempre ha sentido una gran querencia por mostrar mecánicas inventivas, la literaria es una de las más complicadas de llevar a la gran pantalla. “Un mundo aparte” pretende reflejar cómo el arte cinematográfico ha sabido encontrar distintos caminos para formular sugerentes preguntas sobre este tipo de creación. La relación con los personajes ficticios, con los propios lectores o la ruptura de las barreras entre realidad y ficción, entre otras cuestiones, son temas protagonistas en este tipo de propuestas. Novelistas, dramaturgos, guionistas, poetas, personajes inventados, lectores, musas..., todos son piezas fundamentales en la elaboración de un arte en el que la incógnita está siempre presente., 39 minutos en castellano.

Burnout is an important employee outcome that results from an employee's cognitive processing of a complex array of worklife experiences into a coherent story. Using survey data from 409 employees, this study seeks to empirically test theoretical predictions about the role of employee narratives in determining attitudinal and behavioral outcomes. By using dispositional creativity as an indicator variable, this study pinpoints the role of narrative crafting in the relationship between worklife experiences and burnout. Findings indicate that creative employees interact differently from less creative employees with their worklife experiences and that their creative processing has significant consequences for their resulting feelings of burnout. Effects of organizational commitment are also evaluated within this model and are found to have strong direct effects on burnout.

The natural environment’s potential to improve education, work, and lifestyles is receiving increasing attention by policy makers and practitioners. Psychological research has demonstrated that stress reduction, attention restoration, and increased creativity can result from exposure to nature. Such evidence notwithstanding, the precise psychological mechanisms explaining these effects remain unclear. This thesis provides a systematic examination of how contact with nature might affect humans. Four studies were conducted. Study 1 reports two meta-analyses (N = 10701, k = 100) involving: (i) 66 studies using preand post-test designs, and (ii) 32 experimental studies that include a control group. Although outdoor activities have been found overall to affect personal and social outcomes positively, there has been limited research into the effects on cognitive variables of exposure to outdoor environments. To address this gap in the literature, I aim to investigate whether contact with nature (in two dimensions–the psychological attachment to nature and the physical exposure to it) is associated with processes related to creativity (i.e., cognitive styles and divergent thinking creativity). Study 2 (N = 138) tests the relationship between connectedness with nature and cognitive styles and reports a significant positive association between connectedness with nature and both innovative and holistic thinking styles. Building on this finding, Study 3 (N = 185) not only replicates the results of Study 2 by controlling for wellbeing processes, but includes a new creativity test to examine the link between connectedness with nature and creative processes (connectedness with nature is found to be positively linked with divergent-thinking creativity). As these three studies employ cross-sectional data where causality cannot be inferred, the last study involves an experimental design. Study 4 (N = 93) manipulates active versus passive engagement with nature and examines the media

Summary: This dissertation examines the Arthur & Mata Jaffe Center for the Book Arts (JCBA) at Florida Atlantic University, focusing on creativity. Sixteen artists whose artwork is collected by the center were chosen to provide an overview of the creative process of book artists: Susan Allix, Julie Chen, Béatrice Coron, Johanna Drucker, Timothy Ely, Karen Hanmer, Linda K. Johnson, Marie Marcano, Bea Nettles, Matthew Reinhart, Robert Sabuda, Susan Joy Share, Keith Smith, Beth Thielen, Carol Todaro, and Marshall Weber. The artists and the JCBA were selected for this study not only because these artists‘ books provide a unique opportunity to explore the creative processes of their makers, since many points of creative decision must be made, but also because artist‘s books by definition are often conceived, written, designed, printed, and bound by an individual artist. The list contains several artists who have been important to the historical development of the artist‘s book or pop-up publishing fields. Their influence ranges in scope from the historical to the international, national, and local, especially in terms of the JCBA. This dissertation should be useful to creativity researchers and students of the book arts because it is the first study to use qualitative research and creativity studies as a lens to investigate the artifacts and creative processes of artists in the book arts genre, as well as the first to use the case study approach to examine a book arts center and its educational practices with the focus of creativity research. With these goals in mind, concept maps were first created to document the artists‘ internal and external processes of creation, while master composite maps were compiled to facilitate a meta-analysis of their experienced creativity. The JCBA was then profiled, and its educational programs, practices, and policies were documented in order to describe and demonstrate how it encourages the creativity of book artists, as well as how its, 2016, Includes bibliography., Degree granted: Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2016., Collection: FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

This research examined the curvilinear (inverted U-shape) relationship between abusive supervision and creativity, and investigated how supportive organizational climate and within-team competition climate each moderates this curvilinear relationship. Conservation of resource (COR) framework, cognitive appraisal theory of stress and coping, and social comparison theory were applied. I proposed that within-team competition climate would buffer the inverted U-shape relationship while supportive organizational climate would exacerbate the inverted U-shape relationship between abusive supervision and creativity. Using data including 267 nurses and 39 head nurses from the hospital, this study tested the cross-level curvilinear model. Results supported all hypotheses. Results indicated that abusive supervision’s effect on creativity is more complex than assumed in prior literature and emphasized the necessity for understanding workplace climate (e.g., team competition climate and supportive organizational climate) that shed light on main relationship. Implications and future research agenda were discussed. Key words: abusive supervision, creativity, within-team competition climate, supportive organizational climate, curvilinear relationship

Resumen: La enseñanza de los fundamentos de la programación es una tarea compleja que involucra la adquisición por parte del alumno de diversos conocimientos y competencias. Es sabido también que la programación requiere frecuentemente de ciertas dosis de creatividad. Existen estudios que correlacionan la creatividad del alumnado en una escuela-conservatorio de música con su excelencia como músicos. Sin embargo, son pocos los estudios que han analizado la influencia de la creatividad del alumno de ingeniería en su rendimiento como programador. En este artículo se presentan los resultados de un estudio piloto realizado en una muestra de 28 alumnos y alumnas de primer curso de Informática en estudios de Ingeniería Industrial. Los resultados sugieren que para obtener la excelencia en programación es necesaria una alta creatividad, competencia transversal que no está actualmente contemplada en la mayoría de los planes de estudios. Se concluye que la creatividad es una competencia relevante para tener un rendimiento alto en programación, y que su enseñanza debería ser considerada en los planes de estudios de la enseñanza universitaria de la Informática. Los resultados de este primer estudio nos animan a continuar el estudio ampliando la muestra y el ámbito de aplicación. Además, se añaden algunas propuestas de integración de la creatividad en el aula., Teaching fundamentals of programming is a complex task that involves the students’ acquisition of diverse knowledge and skills. It is also well known that programming often requires a certain degree of creativity. There also exist some studies in which music students’ creativity is correlated with their excellence as musicians. However, few studies have analyzed the influence of a student’s creativity on his or her performance as a programmer. In this paper we present the results of a pilot study, with a sample of 28 freshmen engineering students. Results suggest that a high level of creativity is required to achieve excellence in programming. Creativity is a generic skill which is not currently covered with in most engineering curricula. We conclude that creativity should be considered in the syllabus of programming courses in order to get good performance results. The results of this first study encourage us to continue expanding the study sample and its scope. In addition, some proposals for enhancing students’ creativity in the classroom are proposed.

Pearls nace al detectar, en el sector de la perfumería, la oportunidad de innovar y cambiar los hábitos de los consumidores. Pearls pretende entrar en un sector estable a lo largo de la última década, con un crecimiento moderado, y revolucionarlo aportando nuevas ideas y posibilidades al mercado. Se detecta que este sector no se adapta a las necesidades de los consumidores. ¿Qué necesidades? La de perfumarse, perfumarse según la ocasión, según el evento, según el contexto para así poder mostrar una u otra imagen. La que nosotros decidamos en cada momento, la que mejor nos acompañe. Vivimos en un mundo cambiante como también cambian nuestros gustos y necesidades. Tras varios estudios de mercado se ha confirmado que no somos fieles a un mismo olor y que no existe una solución que permita perfumarse de una manera accesible, en cualquier lugar y con estilo. Se va a cambiar el formato de los perfumes. Actualmente las ventas se hacen habitualmente en frascos no menores de 50 mililitros. Se ha diseñado nuestras propias perlas, pequeñas, elegantes, divertidas, de distintos colores según su intensidad, con perfumes distintos para ambos sexos. Comercializaremos nuestras perlas con las distintas fragancias que se han diseñado y con las que, poco a poco, iremos lanzando perfumes de autor al mercado, fruto de nuestros acuerdos one to one. El perfume se aplicará mediante un aplicador que se diseñará. El resultado es la posibilidad de vender perfume por dosis. Cambiando el modo de consumo del perfume. ¿Por qué esperar al día del padre o a que llegue la Navidad para regalar perfume? A partir de ahora el perfume será un producto al alcance de todo el mundo, será una compra impulsiva, una compra cotidiana. España es el país que más perfume consume en la Unión Europea y queremos aprovechar esa ventaja para hacer una rápida penetración en el mercado y mediante diferentes estrategias que desarrollamos más detalladamente en este plan de negocios dar a conocer nuestra solución y nuestra m
