Bibliographic Details
Summary:Developing the studentŽs creativity and researching the relationship between creativity and shoolar achievement are actual concerns. Ths study wanted to research the impact of the "Supercreative" Program (Oliveira, 2015) in creative skills, in the classroom creative climate and in the academic achievement (mainly in oral and written expression). Participants were 70 students of 4th year of Angola schooling, corresponding 35 to the experimental group and 35 to the control group. There were pre and post test moments, being evaluated, in both, creativity, through a creative product (a text), the creative climate in classroom, through a scale validated to Portugal (Morais, Viana, Dias, Fleith & Alencar, 2019) and the academic achievement through an average score and the Portuguese language score. Results showed improvements statistically significant in the experimental group in all the variables. These improvements can be a stimulus to the promotion of creativity in the classroom, not only in Angola but also in other countries. Future implications of results are discussed.
