Desarrollo de la creatividad en niños y niñas de educación inicial mediante el modelo Reggio Emilia

Abstract

This monographic thesis explores the development of creativity in early childhood education through the Reggio Emilia approach. A bibliographic review was conducted with the aim of understanding the influence of implementing the Reggio Emilia model on fostering creativity in young children. The study adopts a qualitative methodology, using a descriptive-explanatory documentary analysis to examine two central categories: creativity and the Reggio Emilia model. The findings indicate that this educational approach has a positive impact on the development of creativity in early learners. Its core pedagogical principles encourage curiosity, exploration, artistic expression, and critical thinking. Key elements such as the learning environment, the teacher’s role, and pedagogical documentation play a fundamental role in this process. Further research is recommended to deepen understanding of this alternative pedagogy and its value in creative education.
