Desarrollo de habilidades creativas de los estudiantes como consecuencia del uso de herramientas TIC

Abstract

The following quasi-experimental research of quantitative, descriptive and comparative order aims to establish the relational existence (status, factors and significant differences) between the use of a 3D CAD modeling ICT tool and the creative skills developed by students of the SENA Mechatronic Automotive Maintenance Technologist training program. A sample composed of two groups (Experimental and Control) was established with a previous test (Pretest ECG), followed by stimulation or treatment to the Experimental group (3D CAD modeling intervention) and to the Control Group without stimulus. A subsequent test (Postest ECG) was finally performed. According to the evaluated indicators by the ECG instrument, the subjects who worked with 3D CAD modeling developed the creative skills associated with the evaluated indicators: elaboration (El), thematic connectivity (Ct), expansive connectivity (Ce), fantasy (Fa), graphic ability (Hg), sense of humor (Sh) and graphic fluidity (Fg). The total score (Pt), is not considered as an indicator of ECG’s graphical ability, but provides a holistic perspective of the results obtained from the tests, where an increase in the mean could be seen, indicating that the use of 3D CAD modeling develops creative skills in individuals.
