Abstract

The creativity is expressed in all individuals, but it manifests itself in different proportions and it may be carried out at different levels. Development levels of this attribute depend on the teacher’s mediation in the process of learning. Creativity can be a challenge for most teachers, since they are unaware of its importance and unwittingly they inhibit by teaching methods that are not aimed at instigating the potential of students. Thus, this article aims to highlight the importance of teacher training for the development of gifted creativity. In conclusion, the mediation of teachers makes the difference in gifted education. As Vygotsky explains, it is precisely through the mediation that it is possible to develop the creative potential. In this sense, the training of the teaching staff reflects in how the mediation will take place during the process of teaching and learning. Therefore, it is essential that teachers are prepared to create a stimulating environment of potential and talents, as well as in performing a work with creativity of their students.

Summary

Introduction

All teachers should work with a creative teaching. This paper will focus on the work of teachers of gifted students. Creativity is essential in education because without this attribute, teaching is meaningless to exist This attribute should be worked in all levels of the process of teaching and learning (Renzulli, 2005; Gross, 2016; Pfeiffer, 2016; Piske, 2016, Piske & Stoltz, 2013; Piske et al 2016). In the scope of the school and the teacher education, Guérios (2002) defends that the development of the creative potential of the individuals is associated with the motivation to make it and, because of this, to learn it. For Goldberg (1986) creativity is a process that leads to a particular artistic product; it is an attitude towards yourself and other people that allows intimate relationships through desire, passion and imagination This process must take place in a different way that many schools offer, because being creative is to express the innermost feelings
