Summary/Abstract: This essay examines creativity in educational contexts through the lens of free-text writing, integrating both theoretical perspectives and practical applications. The concept of creativity is analyzed based on psychological and cognitive theories, from J. P. Guilford’s distinction between divergent and convergent thinking to the studies of Margaret A. Boden, Todd Lubart, and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, which highlight the roles of imagination, reasoning, and flow in generating original ideas. In education, Anna Craft and Ken Robinson emphasize the need to create environments that encourage free expression, risk-taking in idea generation, and the cultivation of individual talent. Socio-cultural approaches, including the works of Vygotsky, Bruner, Sawyer, and John-Steiner, demonstrate that interactivity and collaboration are essential factors in fostering creativity. Freinet’s pedagogy of free text, further developed by Donald Graves and other scholars, provides a methodological framework that combines spontaneous writing with collaborative feedback, enhancing students’ autonomy, responsibility, and communicative competencies. The interactive free-text writing method is presented step by step, highlighting thematic freedom, active engagement, and peer cooperation. This educational strategy facilitates authentic expression, promotes divergent thinking, and offers a motivating and formative learning experience, supporting the development of both cognitive and social-emotional skills among students.ethics.
