Abstract


One of the most important components of the process of teaching and learning is studying and developing students’creativity. The goal of the research is to compare the development of creativity of 5-8 grade students (10-15 years old) in the traditional way and by means of information technology. The authors' method is to Following the development of students taking part in the research (altogether n=300) aided by traditional methods (n=150 students) and aided by information technology methods (n=150) for foury ears within the framework of a longitudinal research. Another method is the comparison of two different development methods and one control group (n = 150). Those taking part in the traditional development programme used fun task sheets on paper, while the IT based development programme used digital facilites. The changes were nearly identical in both groups regarding the five dimensions (self-advocacy, dominance, curiosity – interest, genuineness – creativity, energy). The information technology method resulted bigger changes in four areas (nonconformity, complexity, impatience, playfulness) and the traditional method in two areas (risk-taking, perseverance). Both methods were proved to be efficient in development of creativity, but components of creativity changed in different ways.
