Developing the creativity of children who practice rugby in sports schools

Abstract

Creativity is a priority direction of education systems and public policies, especially those of scientific research. In a modern, dynamic society, characterized by economic, political and cultural mobility, a flexible education is needed, oriented towards the formation and development of a creative personality in cultural-professional-ethical plan. In these conditions, it is necessary to correlate the concept of didactic creativity with that of creative learning. This context generates the need for a theoretical and praxiological educational pedagogical reform, oriented with priority towards the area of didactic creativity, especially in the methodological plan which is currently characterized by traditional methods. Synectics, as a method of stimulating and developing creativity, proposed by us in research, creates this climate of creative learning of children in sports schools, facilitating the exploration of its methodological value (especially in team sports events, especially rugby).
