Development of creativity through practical work in methodics of technical culture

The aim of this research is to show how pupils in primary school at Technical culture classes can increase their creativity in learning about mechanisms through practical work with different kinds of tasks and usage of models of mechanisms. The main methods used for the research are: interviewing, action research, group work, assessing and judging. In the action research conducted with fifth grade pupils on the subject of increasing creativity, there was an attempt to creatively adopt unit called „The ways in which mechanisms operate”. The method of interviewing was used to determine pupils opinion of what they consider valuable for evaluation. Group work was carried out with students using portable models of mechanisms. A questionnaire was implemented for assessment and deliberation in order to collect data on student opinion about their satisfaction with these methods of work and ways of gaining knowledge of Technical culture. A video of the lesson was made. These methods of collecting and processing information led to the conclusion that by application of creative techniques, teaching aimed at results and active teaching methods is actually possible to develop pupils creativity in Technical culture in fifth grade of primary school.
