Literary creativity as an option for self-growth in university students

In the ongoing search for an active learning process in the university environment, the use of a theatrical text is proposed to university psychology students who have to read it and, based on it, create their own creative literary work. The choice of this sample was to find a different and complementary way of learning to the usual way in degrees related to health sciences. Nowadays they are too marked by an empiricism that prevents the use of actions with an open-minded approach, as proposed by Corbalan (2006); Liminana, Corbalan and Sanchez-Lopez (2010). They proposed an approach that makes it possible to articulate new strategies for assessing creative behaviour within the framework of the teaching planning carried out in the subject, directly affecting what Palupi, Subiyantoro and Triyanto (2020) later called creative thinking skills in behavioural learning through writing. The study was conducted over three academic years (2019/20, 200/21 and 2021/22) with students who voluntarily opted to undertake such reading, with the assessment of the creative literary creative work done being included in the student's overall assessment. A total of 221 students participated during these three academic years. The research work analyses the different components involved in this proposal: the selection of the sample, the evaluation criteria used, the literary proposals made by the students, their creative classification, as well as future educational projections.
