Recursos tecnológicos interactivos para desarrollar habilidades del pensamiento creativo en ciencias naturales

Abstract

Technological resources are a fundamental part of the educational process, these tools allow to increase the interest and motivation of students to learn, developing multiple skills and abilities that favor the development of meaningful learning. In this way, thanks to technology there are several interactive technological resources for the area of natural sciences that facilitate new ways of learning, in addition, this process is carried out based on the intervention and teaching work, because the teacher as a guide and mediator of learning must use new innovative methodologies. In this sense, creativity should be understood as the ability to create something new, different and original, then the development of creative thinking, makes us think of new ways of doing things, innovations, changes of approach. Therefore, it is necessary to study how the development of creativity influences the field of education, therefore, teachers should apply technological resources to develop students knowledge. It is also necessary for teachers and students to have knowledge about the characteristics and levels of creative thinking that students should obtain in their teaching-learning. In this sense, the idea of strengthening creative thinking in students is a component of great importance in the training that seeks to ensure that students acquire the ability to face a wide variety of situations that require generating alternative solutions, communicating new ideas, responding to different perspectives; it also requires the proper use of information, teamwork, decision making, interaction among all and the production of knowledge, care for the environment and the use of resources, among others. In the same way, several authors emphasize the great value of the development of creative thinking and the use of technological resources influence in a timely manner in this process, since it allows the integral formation of the human being for life in all its areas, especially in the cognitive and affective potential, motivating students to increase their creativity and to obtain a good learning within their teaching process. By using these technological tools, it will be demonstrated that a creative person has the ability to interact in the different scenarios that are presented to him her and to solve problems in his/her personal and professional life. Therefore, we have considered implementing as a proposal a didactic guide that allows both the teacher and the student to identify a series of technological resources such as: Build Body - Space Place - Stellarium, which allow students to develop their creative capacity through the interactivity provided by these resources, from activities, tasks, information and games that allow them to capture the attention and interest in learning by being autonomous and critical of their knowledge. The implementation of these media is indispensable in the teaching-learning process of natural sciences, taking into account three basic functions: observe, investigate and create.
