Description

The present study analyzes the benefit of a whole-class fine arts enrichment program on both gifted and non-gifted children in terms of their feelings about school, figural creativity, and school well-being. Participants were 500 students (including 50 gifted children) from primary public schools of San Miguel District, in Lima City. Three measures were used to enable a multimodal approach involving the self-report Peruvian version of Feelings About School scale (FAS), the Test of Creative Thinking-Drawing Production (TCT-DP), and the Autodetermination At School scale (AAS) (Sanchez & Blanc, 2019) were considered. Data analysis involves descriptive-correlational and comparative analysis in terms of feelings about school, figural creative performance, and self-determination in the school environment. Discussion includes variables related to the cognitive, conative, and social affective dimensions. Recommendations include suggestions for emotional support and talent development of students in the primary classroom.
