La Voz del Rehén: Adapting creative sustainable development goal-based physical-artistic project during COVID pandemic

Abstract

This article assesses the effects on creativity of an interdisciplinary physicall-artistic programme and their effects during pandemic context. The sample comprised 97 individuals –54 men and 43 women– with an average age of 21.37±1.56, all of whom were studying a Primary Education Teacher Training Degree at Zaragoza University –Spain–. It was a pre-experimental study with measures pre-post programme –adapted to pandemic situation, replacing the acrosport content to skipping rope, juggling and aerial dance–. The creative skills assessment instrument was the PIC-A. A Student’s T-test and ANOVA test were performed to discover significant differences in pre-post in both academic years. Results showed that: i) participants obtained significant improvements in total score of creativity in both academic years; ii) the adaptations made to the intervention programme during the pandemic year were effective in developing creativity. These studies confirm the importance of incorporating interdisciplinary creativity programmes into the university system.
