Desarrollo de la creatividad y la competencia comunicativa como herramientas para la innovación educativa en estudiantes de la carrera de Educación Básica

Abstract

Abstract: This study analyzes the development of creativity and communicative competence in students of the Basic Education degree program and their relationship with educational innovation. The research is grounded in an understanding of the competencies that help train future teachers capable of creating innovative pedagogical approaches in today s educational settings. It was conducted using a quantitative approach with a descriptive-correlational design, through the administration of a Likert-scale questionnaire to students in the program, supplemented by a literature review of scientific studies on communication, creativity, and educational innovation. The results show that students have a favorable level of development in creativity and communicative competence, which is linked to a positive attitude toward generating ideas, engaging in academic interaction processes, and exploring innovative learning methods. Furthermore, it was determined that the incorporation of these competencies enhances the ability of future teachers to create active and collaborative pedagogical practices. The analysis provides important insights for improving initial teacher training and promoting teaching strategies focused on educational innovation.
