VILLALOBOS CLAVERIA, Alejandro and MELO HERMOSILLA, Yenia. Creativity and didactic transfer in the pedagogical action of Chilean university professors. Cuad. Investig. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.11, n.2, pp.35-54. Epub Dec 01, 2020. ISSN 1510-2432. https://doi.org/10.18861/cied.2020.11.2.2992.
This article analyzes experiences of didactic transposition, as a creative expression of the pedagogical practice carried out by Chilean university academics. A quantitative approach of a descriptive and analytical nature was conducted to a purposive sample of 59 teachers from three Chilean regional universities, to whom a pattern of class observation was applied during the period 2014-2015. The results indicate that there are two aspects of creativity that are expressed in the didactic transposition: the use of innovative didactic resources and the relationship they establish between their teaching and the field matters or future profession of students. It is concluded that in their didactics teachers use creative processes, as they seek innovation, while in the assessment of learning, the trend is reproductive, due to the requirement of the current curricular framework.
