Views of future preschool teachers on creativity

V prvem delu prispevka pišemo o ustvarjalnosti, o dejavnikih, ki vplivajo na ustvarjalnost, ter o ustvarjalnosti v vzgoji in izobraževanju, pri čemer posebej izpostavljamo predšolsko obdobje. V drugem delu prispevka predstavljamo rezultate empirične raziskave, v kateri smo ugotavljali, kakšna so stališča študentk, bodočih vzgojiteljic, do ustvarjalnosti, do dejavnikov ustvarjalnosti in ustvarjalnosti pri otrocih. Ugotavljamo, da pri bodočih vzgojiteljicah predšolskih otrok prevladuje mnenje, da vsi ljudje niso ustvarjalni, prav tako po njihovem mnenju niso ustvarjalni vsi otroci, imajo pa ustvarjalni otroci v vrtcu veliko možnosti za uresničevanje svojih ustvarjalnih potencialov. Po mnenju anketirank je najpomembnejši dejavnik v razvoju ustvarjalnosti družina.The first part of this paper focuses on creativity, the factors that influence creativity, and on creativity in education, with a special emphasis on preschool education. In the second part, we present the results of an empirical research study in which we wanted to identify the views and positions of future preschool teachers on creativity, factors of creativity, and children\u27s creativeness. The study showed that future preschool teachers mainly believe that not all people are creative, and neither are all children. But they believe that creative children have many opportunities to develop their creative potential in kindergarten. They consider family to be the most important factor in fostering and developing a child\u27s creativeness
