LABARTHE, José Tomás  e  VASQUEZ, Luis Herrera. Potenciando la creatividad humana: taller de escritura creativa. Pap. trab. - Cent. Estud. Interdiscip. Etnolingüíst. Antropol. Soc. [online]. 2016, n.31, pp.19-37. ISSN 1852-4508.

The objective of the following almost experimental and quantitative study was to ascertain the effectiveness of the creative writing workshop as a teaching strategy. Identifying if this initiative would substantially contribute to the development of the creative capacity and the writing abilities of the third year high school students of the San Martín de Curicó Institute was a primary goal. A sample of 58 students was selected, between 16 to 17 years old, which made up a control group as well as an almost experimental group. Only the almost experimental group underwent 6 months of creative writing workshops. The experience showed that the implementation of such workshops could develop the creative capacity and the writing abilities of the students, boosting their divergent thinking by the end of the workshops intervention. As a result we recommend an educational empowerment program, which will train teachers and allow them to apply creative workshop instructional strategies. It is our belief that this will also contribute to the development of their writing abilities, problem solving and a broad scope of points of views, in pursuit of divergent thinking.
