Introduction: The relationship between the development of the categories of originality, flexibility, autonomy and motivation of the creative mode of action is important. The objective of the article was to develop a system of indications for the development of categories of the creative mode of action in university students. Methods: A mixed investigation was carried out, where the universe was made up of students of the Pedagogy-Psychology degree at the University of Sancti Spíritus "José Martí Pérez" in the 2021-2022 academic year and an intentional random sample of 24 students from the third year was taken. In the research, actions were designed to solve problems in work practice and a self-assessment scale about the development of the categories of the creative mode of action. Results: The statistical processing of the applied instruments allowed 75 % of the sample to be placed between a medium and low level in the development of categories of the creative mode of action, due to deficiencies in its expression. Discussion: From referenced theoretical foundations, a proposal of indications was analyzed that allow the systematization of learning content and facilitate the development of autonomous and motivating actions to solve problems in the work context. Conclusions: The development of indications, from the main integrative discipline and in close relationship with the declared categories of the creative mode of action, facilitated its development and demonstrated relevance and feasibility in the context of work practice.

RESUMO

Este artigo pretende discutir o texto seminal de Melanie Klein, Inveja e gratidão (1957), no intuito de articulá-lo com os fenômenos da esperança, desesperança, criatividade e destrutividade. Na leitura realizada, observamos que a inveja é um solo fértil para o crescimento da desesperança e destrutividade. Enquanto a capacidade de ter gratidão pode levar o indivíduo a ser esperançoso e ter uma vida criativa, o contrário seria possível? Ser invejoso e ao mesmo tempo ter criatividade e esperança? Com base no dualismo pulsional freudiano, do qual Klein não abriu mão na construção da sua metapsicologia, respondemos que sim, primordialmente a partir da introjeção do objeto bom, que possibilita a elaboração da inveja, elemento que enfatizaremos a partir da figura do analista no processo clínico. Para elucidarmos cada um desses elementos, iremos utilizar o conto "A legião estrangeira" de Clarice Lispector (1999) como fio condutor ao longo de todo o texto.

Resumos This article aims to discuss Melanie Klein's seminal text, "Envy and gratitude" (1957), in order to articulate it with the phenomena of hope, hopelessness, creativity, and destructiveness. In ours readings, we observed that envy is a fertile soil for the growth of hopelessness and destructiveness. While the ability to have gratitude can lead an individual to be hopeful and have a creative life. Would the opposite be possible? To be envious and at the same time creative and hopeful? Based on Freudian Dualism drive, which Klein did not give up in the construction of her metapsychology, we answer yes, primarily from the introjection of the good object, which allows the elaboration of envy, an element that we will emphasize from the figure of the analyst in the clinical process. To elucidate each of these elements, we will use the short story "The foreign legion" by Clarice Lispector (1999) as a guiding thread throughout the text.

Cet article discute le texte fondateur de Melanie Klein, "Envie et gratitude" 27 (1957), afin de l'articuler avec les phénomènes de l'espoir, du désespoir, de la créativité et de la destructivité. Au cours de notre lecture, nous avons observé que l'envie est un terreau fertile pour la croissance du désespoir et de la destructivité. En revanche, la capacité à être reconnaisant peut conduire les individus à être plein d'espoir et à mener une vie créative. Le contraire serait-il possible? Être envieux et en même temps créatif et plein d'espoir? Sur la base du dualisme pulsionnel freudien, que Klein n'a pas abandonné dans la construction de sa métapsychologie, nous répondons par l'affirmative, notamment par l'introjection du bon objet qui permet d'élaborer l'envie, élément que nous soulignerons à travers la figure de l'analyste dans le processus clinique. Afin d'élucider chacun de ces éléments, nous utiliserons la nouvelle "La Légion étrangère" (1999) de Clarice Lispector comme fil conducteur tout au long du texte.

En la lectura realizada se observa que la envidia es un campo fértil para el crecimiento de la desesperanza y la destructividad. Mientras que la capacidad de expresar gratitud puede llevar al individuo a tener esperanza y tener una vida creativa. ¿Sería posible lo contrario? ¿Ser envidioso y al mismo tiempo tener creatividad y esperanza? Partiendo del dualismo pulsional freudiano, al que Klein no abandonó en la construcción de su metapsicología, este texto responde que es posible esto, principalmente desde la introyección del objeto bueno, que posibilita la elaboración de la envidia, elemento que se enfatizará a partir de la figura del analista en el proceso clínico. Para dilucidar cada uno de estos elementos se utiliza el cuento "La legión extranjera", de Clarice Lispector (1999), como hilo conductor a lo largo del texto.

ABSTRACT The current paper aimed to comprehend the cooperative comic stories' creation as an intermediary and an intra-intermediary object, becoming a potential practice to be used during psychodramatic psychotherapy with children. An experience report on case G and a study of art were carried out, making it possible to recognize comic books as intermediate and intra-intermediate objects according to the objective of their use in the sessions, allowing the use of psychodramatic techniques, reducing the tense field and recovering patient's creativity-spontaneity. It was possible to conclude that the use of comic books provides a greater bond between therapist and child, in addition to providing means for the patient to express themselves without fear, opening space for psychodramatic play, for co-creation and for finding new responses to situations experienced.

RESUMO

Introduction: The role of affective states on the creative process has been receiving the attention of researchers and has led to contradictory results. Most research in creativity has emphasized the role of affective states, mainly positive ones, on creativity levels, namely those resulting from divergent thinking tasks that reveal the unconventional way of thinking in the creative process. However, there are no studies to date that focus on the impact of affective states on conventional and unconventional thinking, during the same creative process, which consider a single creative assessment task. The aim of this experimental study was to analyze the effect of induced affective states on both conventional and unconventional thinking of creativity in adults by using the TCT-DP (Test for Creative Thinking-Drawing Production). Method: Seventy-five university students, mostly female, with a mean age of 26.95 years, were randomly assigned into three affect elicitation conditions (pleasant vs. unpleasant vs. neutral). Results: Results indicated that the negative affective state led to higher levels of conventional thinking when compared to positive and neutral affective states. However, no significant differences were found on unconventional thinking across the three conditions. Conclusions: Our results do not support the assumption that the negative affect has a hindering effect on creativity nor the positive affect increases creativity. Negative affect seems to promote conventional thinking, perhaps due to its cognitive correlates, which can be manifested in focusing attention and analytic thinking. Practical and theoretical implications for future research on the role of affective states on creativity are discussed.

Introducción: El papel de los estados afectivos en el proceso creativo ha sido objeto de atención por parte de los investigadores y ha dado lugar a resultados contradictorios. La mayor parte de la investigación en creatividad ha hecho hincapié en el papel de los estados afectivos, principalmente los positivos, sobre los niveles de creatividad. A saber, los resultantes de las tareas de pensamiento divergente que revelan la forma no convencional de pensar en el proceso creativo. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar el efecto de los estados afectivos inducidos en dos dimensiones distintas del pensamiento creativo en adultos. Método: Setenta y cinco voluntarios, en su mayoría mujeres, con una edad media de 26.95 años, fueron asignados aleatoriamente a tres condiciones de elicitación de estados afectivos (agradable vs desagradable vs neutral), justo antes de realizar una tarea de creatividad figurativa. Resultados: Los resultados indicaron que el estado afectivo negativo condujo a niveles más altos de pensamiento convencional. Conclusiones: Nuestros resultados no apoyan ni la hipótesis de que el afecto negativo tiene un efecto perjudicial sobre la creatividad ni la de que el afecto positivo aumenta la creatividad. El afecto negativo parece promover el pensamiento convencional, quizá debido a sus correlatos cognitivos, que pueden manifestarse en la atención focalizada y el pensamiento analítico. Se discuten las implicaciones prácticas y teóricas para futuras investigaciones sobre el papel de los estados afectivos en la creatividad.

RESUMO

Background: High-ability students require effective educational strategies. This study introduces and evaluates a curriculum enrichment programme aimed at enhancing cre ativity. The programme is based on a competency framework and was implemented using variations of Project-Based Learning (PBL) strategies. Method: A quasi-experimental design compared two interventions using pre-test and post-test groups. The first intervention (N = 38) involved a 12-week PBL unit focused on designing a video game using block-based program ming through Scratch. The second intervention (N = 51), also lasting 12 weeks, comprised three separate projects involving vectorial design and programming of an Arduino-based ro bot. Both interventions used strategies for creative-thinking development. The sample includ ed high-ability students from 8 to 12 years of age. Results: Both interventions significantly increased creativity, with no statistical differences between them. This suggests that both types of PBL interventions effectively improved participants' creativity. Conclusions: This study suggests that PBL-based curricular enrichment programmes are effective in fostering creativity among high-ability students.

Antecedentes: Los estudiantes con alta capacidad requieren estrategias educativas efectivas. Este estudio presenta y evalúa un programa de enriquecimiento curricular diseñado para mejorar la creatividad. El programa se basa en un marco de competencias y se implemen tó utilizando variaciones de estrategias de aprendizaje basado en proyectos (ABP). Método: Un diseño cuasi-experimental comparó dos intervenciones utilizando grupos pretest y postest. La primera intervención consistió en una unidad de ABP de 12 semanas centrada en el diseño de un videojuego utilizando programación basada en bloques mediante Scratch. La segunda intervención, también de 12 semanas de duración, consistió en tres proyectos independientes de diseño vectorial y programación de un robot basado en Arduino. En ambas intervencio nes se utilizaron estrategias para el desarrollo del pensamiento creativo. La muestra incluía estudiantes con altas capacidades de entre 8 y 12 años. Resultados: Ambas intervenciones aumentaron significativamente la creatividad, sin diferencias estadísticas entre ellas. Esto sugiere que ambos tipos de intervenciones de ABP mejoraron efectivamente la creatividad de los participantes. Conclusiones: Este estudio sugiere que los programas de enriquecimiento curricular basados en ABP son efectivos para fomentar la creatividad entre los estudiantes con altas capacidades.

RESUMO

This narrative review addresses the complex relationship between neurological diseases and artistic expression, which can have a profound impact on a painter´s works. This exploration highlights the dynamic and ever-evolving connection between neuroscience and art, offering insights into the extraordinary ways in which the human brain and artistic expression intersect and evolve. Following brain damage, there may be the emergence of sudden artistic talents, intriguing changes in the styles of established artists, the paradoxical facilitation of artistic abilities despite the cognitive decline consequent to these injuries, besides coping strategies that artists adopt in response to the challenges of health. Therefore, this article investigates different scenarios where brain injuries and disorders have had a profound impact on artists, leading to the emergence of new talents, changes in artistic styles, and unexpected improvements in their work, as well as adaptations in their artistic practices, as represented by some painters such as Tommy McHugh (1949 -2012), Francisco Goya (1746-1828), Otto Dix (1891-1969), Willem de Kooning (1904-1997), William Charles Utermohlen (1933-2007) and Charles Meryon (1821-1868). Consequently, works of art can be valuable but understudied tools for understanding brain dysfunction, although they must be interpreted with great care.

Esta revisão narrativa aborda a complexa relação entre doenças neurológicas e expressão artística, que pode ter um impacto profundo na obra de um pintor. Esta exploração destaca a conexão dinâmica e em constante evolução entre a neurociência e a arte, oferecendo insights sobre as formas extraordinárias pelas quais o cérebro humano e a expressão artística se cruzam e evoluem. Após danos cerebrais, pode haver o surgimento de talentos artísticos repentinos, mudanças intrigantes nos estilos de artistas estabelecidos, a facilitação paradoxal de habilidades artísticas, apesar do declínio cognitivo consequente a essas lesões, além de estratégias de enfrentamento que os artistas adotam em resposta aos desafios de saúde. Portanto, este artigo investiga diferentes cenários onde lesões e distúrbios cerebrais tiveram um impacto profundo nos artistas, levando ao surgimento de novos talentos, mudanças nos estilos artísticos e melhorias inesperadas em seu trabalho, bem como adaptações em suas práticas artísticas, bem como representado por alguns pintores como Tommy McHugh (1949 -2012), Francisco Goya (1746-1828), Otto Dix (1891-1969), Willem de Kooning (1904-1997), William Charles Utermohlen (1933-2007) e Charles Meryon (1821-1868). Consequentemente, as obras de arte podem ser ferramentas valiosas, mas pouco estudadas, para a compreensão da disfunção cerebral, embora devam ser interpretadas com muito cuidado.

RESUMO

This narrative review addresses the world of artists who linked their creative journeys alongside their battles with epilepsy, a neurological condition engineered by recurrent epileptic seizures, with multifaceted implications in biopsychosocial domains. By examining the lives and works of celebrated artists such as Vincent Van Gogh and contemporary painters, particularly those possibly affected by epilepsy, a narrative transcends clinical elucidations, investigating historical contexts, artistic expressions, and therapeutic interventions. The focus is on uncovering the transformative influence of engaging in artistic activities for individuals struggling with epilepsy. It investigates the profound impact of artistic pursuits on people affected by epilepsy, showing the resilience of the human spirit in harnessing adversity as a source of creativity. This exploration illuminates the potential of art, not only as a means of self-expression, but also as a therapeutic medium in the setting of epilepsy and associated neurorehabilitation.

Esta revisão narrativa aborda o mundo dos artistas que associaram as suas jornadas criativas paralelamente às suas batalhas contra a epilepsia, uma condição neurológica caracterizada por ataques epilépticos recorrentes, com implicações multifacetadas em domínios biopsicossociais. Ao examinar as vidas e obras de artistas célebres como Vincent Van Gogh e pintores contemporâneos, particularmente aqueles possivelmente afetados pela epilepsia, a narrativa transcende as elucidações clínicas, investigando contextos históricos, expressão artística e intervenções terapêuticas. O foco está em desvendar a influência transformadora do envolvimento em atividades artísticas para indivíduos que lutam contra a epilepsia. Ele investiga o profundo impacto das atividades artísticas nas pessoas afetadas pela epilepsia, mostrando a resiliência do espírito humano ao aproveitar a adversidade como uma fonte de criatividade. Esta exploração ilumina o potencial da arte, não apenas como meio de autoexpressão, mas também como meio terapêutico no cenário da epilepsia e da neurorreabilitação associada.
