Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2017, vol.23, n.1, pp. 1-21. ISSN 1677-1168.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2017v23n1p1-21.

Creativity is assumed as a relevant concept in education. This study analyses differences in the representations of favorable and unfavorable conditions for creativity in the workplace by teachers from Portuguese public and private schools, and differences in representations of creative climate in the classroom of the 3rd and 4th grades of basic school, as well as 72 teachers. Data was collected through Scale Environment for Creativity in the Classroom in the case of students; in the case of teachers, we utilized the Questionnaire Indicators of Climate for Creativity in the Workplace. For the students, results show significant differences in several dimensions, presenting public schools higher values. In the case of teachers, emerged significant differences considering favorable conditions for creativity (higher values from private schools) and obstructions to creativity (higher values from public schools).

Keywords : Creative climate; Student; Teacher; Representations; Public and private schools.
