Abstract

This research focuses on the theoretical investigation of Creativity Workshops with resources for meaningful learning in the school context. For this was a study of the concept of creativity in Psychology, a survey of articles published on the Scielo, Lilács and Bireme platforms the past five years on the development of workshops in schools and a definition of Creativity Workshops connected to experimentation, as strategy to provide a plan for school children learning. Psychology as other areas of knowledge, shall make use of instruments to develop their processes, whether generation / expansion of knowledge, whether that knowledge transfer to society. For Psychology linked to Inventive Cognition, this transfer of knowledge requires a different approach from that which is commonly adopted in the technical-scientific middle. In this process, the learning does not follow the procedures from the perspective of classical psychology that does not consider the invention as a cognitive ability, but explores aspects of creativity in the school environment. The Creativity Workshop has been used as a tool in the learning process linked to an Inventive Cognition, as an area for experimentation, with learning that question the possibilities of supporting the educational contents.
