Research with Children. Creativity, Meaning What? The Knowledge of Children about Creativity

Summary/Abstract: The child’s creative activity is the main stimulus of his/ her development. When working with children, I attach great importance to children being active and creative. I decided to talk with children about what they think on the subject. The article presents children’s statements about creativity. In my research, I gave the voice to children so that they could say what they know about creativity. The aim of presented research work is to familiarize the reader with the knowledge of seven-year-old children about creativity. The research was conducted in the qualitative field, with the use of the method of group conversation with children. The research results present the children’s knowledge about creativity. According to the children surveyed, creativity is the action of a human being - the creator which effects in a concrete, useful product. It turns out that for children the creative process, or creation, is closely linked to thinking. The research allowed the determination that the examined children see themselves as creators, emphasizing that they create on a daily basis in the dayroom, but also at home. They emphasize that they like to create and are creative in their activities. The text consists of three parts. The first part is a reflection on creativity in general and children’s creativity. In the second part I describe the methodology and the course of research. The empirical part includes the analysis and interpretation of children’s statements about creativity, as well as some conclusions.
