The Interactive Methods and Techniques Stimulating Creativity - Crucial Components of the Didactic Strategies

Abstract

The history of pedagogy and psychology has gone through important changes that have led to the delineation of a pedagogical trend known as modernist education. According to this theory, the teaching-learning-evaluation act constitutes a guided, programmed activity, taking place in a stimulating atmosphere, lacking any constraints, by means of an inter-human relation of collaboration, cooperation, communication, evaluation, and self-evaluation. The teacher’s role in this approach shall be one of coordinator, helping in the birth of ideas. The didactic methods and techniques – components of the didactic strategies – were classified by different authors as follows: teaching-learning – evaluation methods and techniques; knowledge consolidation, systematization, and evaluation methods and techniques; problem-solving and creativity stimulating methods and techniques; group research methods and techniques. We have chosen to present the creativity-stimulating methods and techniques, which can be used in the didactic process of music education.
