Abstract

At early school age, school work should fully demand the
student's creative forces. Once they enter school, children are
trained in an intellectual activity, largely unknown to them. In
such situations, life experience and previously acquired
knowledge prove to be insufficient for obtaining a positive result
and children have the opportunity to activate and capitalize on
their creative potential. It is about one of the sensitive periods in
the child's life, when certain mental qualities, with minimal
effort, can be exploited with maximum efficiency and oriented
towards the development of creativity. Developing children's
creativity should be a permanent concern for teachers. to
respond to these needs, a creative, ingenious, imaginative, welltrained
teacher is needed who is always discovering new
strategies that go beyond templates and contribute to the
development of creativity. Thus, the child challenged to create
will become the man capable of finding solutions and adapting
in a society in permanent change. The presented research aims
to bring attention to the need for school intervention for the
development of creativity, methods of intervention and the results
obtained within an experiment oriented towards this goal: the
development of creative potential in young schoolchildren.
