creativity, divergent thinking, interview, organization and school didactics.

Author Ken Robinson talks about how schools kill creativity by producing uncreative students and factory-like classrooms. Creativity should be developed over time, however, it drops drastically in the last years of Primary. To solve this conflict, techniques or ideas are proposed so that students have critical and divergent thinking in their day to day life, although the question would be whether teachers are prepared and, more importantly, what perception they have regarding creativity. That is why the present work exposes a series of interviews with Primary Education teachers and what results are extracted from this experience.
