The study examined high school students' perception about their creativity level, their teachers and colleagues level of creativity as well as the extent to what their teachers' pedagogical practices contemplated creativity. The participants were 217 students from a private school. The instrument used for the data collection included a scale of evaluation of the level of creativity, one open question, and an inventory of pedagogical practices. The results revealed that the students evaluated themselves as significantly more creative than their teachers and colleagues. In addition, nearly half of the students agreed total or partially that their teachers have contemplated the development and the expression of the creative potential. The results also indicated that the teaching practices with higher means were stimulating students to analyze different aspects of a problem and leading them to realize the contrasting points of view about a topic of study.Downloads
