Assessing creativity to boost the inclusion in musical education adult

Abstract

Educational inclusion seems to be linked to pupils with special educational needs, but there are other realities that promote educational exclusion, architectural or administrative barriers, it is here where the musical education of adults suffer a kind of educational exclusion. Creativity is a process of development of the expression of new ideas aimed to solve problems or meet needs, enhance creativity is therefore encourage attitudes contrary to passivity and conformism to activate the divergent thinking, in order to seek solutions to problems such as the educational exclusion. For this reason our research has been directed to assess creativity in order to strengthen it in those students who need it, by checking whether there are gender differences and to reflect on our teaching practice. We used the CREA (creativity tool to measure) to apply to 17 students and although no difference was found between both sexes, the level of creativity was very low, so it was determined to take educational measures not only fo students but also for teaching practice.
