MARSIGLIA, Ana Carolina Galvão  and  SACCOMANI, Maria Cláudia da Silva. The knowledge transmission as a condition for creativity: teacher’s directive role and happy child. Perspectiva [online]. 2019, vol.37, n.1, pp.296-315.  Epub July 18, 2019. ISSN 2175-795X.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-795x.2019.e53237.

This article deals with the historical and social development of creativity. It is intended to show that creativity is not an innate individual potential that is developed through spontaneous interactions with the cultural environment and contrary to the systematic transmission of knowledge. Therefore, we begin the article with the issue of the dichotomy between creativity and freedom. Then we dedicate ourselves to write briefly about the human psychological development, specifically the psychic imagination function, demonstrating that creativity requires transmission of knowledge. Finally, we present some considerations on the role of education in the process of humanization of individuals and the development of creativity.

Keywords : Creativity; School Education; Historical-Cultural Psychology; Historical-Critical Pedagogy.
