Abstract

Attention to diversity and inclusive education must be able to take on the same challenges of the 21st century, which involves incorporating into the teaching-learning process the development of competences that enable them to adapt to change. Nowadays, creativity is considered as part of the development of divergent thinking and problem solving, areas of special difficulty for people with intellectual disabilities. For this reason, the aim of the research is to evaluate, in young people with intellectual disabilities, their creative capacity as a cognitive measure, through the standardised CREA test. To this end, 91 participants between the ages of 11 years 11 months and 28 years of chronological age took part in the study. The participants who took the CREA test had a mean percentile score of 34.62 on the 6-11 years scale. The mean total score decreased to 20.11 in the 12 to 16 years age range. The data invite us to reinforce, within educational praxis, the cognitive processes associated with creativity such as decision-making and problem-solving from pre-university ages as fundamental steps to improve creativity as a cognitive measure.
