Creativity and innovation: premises for the performance of the future agricultural engineer

Abstract

The article aims to present a methodology to promote the development of the creative mode of action in the students of the Agronomy career from the teaching-learning process of the main integrative discipline Agricultural Production. It was derived from an investigation with a predominantly qualitative methodological approach, which used systematization as a method, combined with sessions and in-depth interviews with teachers and students, participant observation and documentary analysis. The methods applied led to the construction of a methodology that is distinguished by offering procedures focused on the use of the problems declared in the career professional model, from the use of the different agricultural training scenarios, with a collective communication that favors the acquisition of creative learning strategies. The transformations are specified in the necessary synergy that must be achieved between the components of the teaching-learning process (professional problems, objectives, contents, average methods, evaluation, forms of organization, student, teacher, group) to favor motivation, originality and self-determination of student.
