MORAIS, Maria de Fátima e ALMEIDA, Leandro S.. Perceptions about creativity: A study with university students. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.2, pp.141-162. ISSN 0871-9187. https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.7385.
In today's world, the University has a crucial role in the education of citizens in order to innovate. Creativity is thus a concept to value in higher education, but that valuation implies changes in the educational practices. A relevant source of information in order to promote creative skills in college students is to gather what they think about those skills. Through the questionnaire “University and Creative Skills” the perceptions of 582 Portuguese university students about the conceptualization and valorization of creativity in the academic contexts were analyzed. The perceptions were analyzed according to the students´ curriculum area and gender. Data suggest significant statistical differences in function of both variables. The results allow reflections towards further developments of this study but also point directions to reinforce deliberate educational practices in this level of education.
