Abstract

The present research examines the creative learning of software engineering within the Computer Engineering course at the University of Matanzas. Software engineering was selected for investigation due to its potential to facilitate creative learning during the training of computer professionals. To this end, a foundation of creativity and its relationship with creative learning is established, which allows the definition of creative learning in software engineering. The current state of creative learning in students from the degree course under analysis is then diagnosed, where its insufficient development is identified. The objective is to develop a system of didactic activities that contributes to the creative learning of software engineering in the third year of the Computer Engineering course. Finally, a specialist criterion is used to evaluate the proposal.
