| Description | In our research we focused on pedagogical humanism and creativity in elementary school teachers (N = 20) in schools that focus on cultivating ICT skills. The control group consisted of teachers in standard elementary schools (N = 21). The research was conducted using questionnaire methods. Although no statistically significant differences were found between the two groups with respect to the measured variables, our research has shown that elementary school teachers in general prefer the humanistic conception of teaching and the creative approach in teaching over the traditional one. The study revealed a strong relationship between the humanistic approach and pedagogical creativity (r = 0.69; p ? 0.00). |
