Creativity and research: model for the strengthening of basic primary education

Abstract

This research is carried out in public educational institutions (IE) in Chiquinquirá (Boyacá) municipality to design a

theoretical model of competencies based on creativity so that primary school students can strengthen research and

achieve an articulation between the curriculum and pedagogical strategies according to national guidelines. As a

problem, it became evident that the IEs lack a plan that allows teachers to structure training processes based on

creativity and research from the curricular guidelines. The pragmatic method is used. For this, the mixed research

approach is implemented. Given this, the design applied for this research is the sequential explanatory design

(DEXPLIS). The population of the study is six rectors, 19 coordinators, and 391 teachers of the public IE of

Chiquinquirá. As a result, it was established that creativity impacts the development of research skills as a key to the

progress of expected learning. Therefore, it is concluded that applying the research competencies model based on the

development of creativity is of great importance in contributing positively to education in Colombia.
