La pintura como recurso didáctico para desarrollar la creatividad en niños de educación infantil.

Abstract

In preschool Centers, when using painting as a didactic resource to develop creativity, educators do not apply a variety of techniques, activities, and materials, they work with the same ones since children tend to get bored. Furthermore, the children follow orders and models proposed by the teacher; however, they do not take advantage of the creative potential that children possess. The objective of this study is to obtain information on the main findings that support the importance of painting as a didactic resource to develop creativity in preschool children. The methodology used is a systematic literature review, consulted in databases, such as Scielo, Redalyc, e-books, Dialnet, Eric, Pro-Quest, and Google Scholar, considering publications published between 2015 and 2021 in English or Spanish. A total of 70 research studies were obtained from this search, after which the final selection process was conducted. The inclusion criteria included research studies that were related to the topic within the preschool level, and the exclusion criteria rejected research studies that were not related to the field of early childhood education and were not published in recent years. It was determined that the application of a variety of materials, techniques, and activities by painting is a must for the development of children's creativity. Finally, it was concluded that no research on this topic was found.
