Resumen

Introducción: La creatividad es un atributo central en la formación docente, pero la investigación centrada en profesores de educación física ha sido comparativamente escasa frente a otras disciplinas.

El estudio buscó caracterizar las creencias sobre creatividad de estudiantes de Pedagogía en Educación Física de dos regiones de Chile y determinar en qué medida predijeron sus expectativas de desarrollo creativo del futuro alumnado.

Metodología: Se empleó un diseño observacional transversal mediante un cuestionario autoaplicado en línea a 224 estudiantes de Pedagogía en Educación Física. Se administró la escala Beliefs About Teaching for Creativity y un índice de plasticidad docente construido a partir de viñetas, estimándose modelos de regresión lineal múltiple anidados por bloques.

Resultadis: Las subescalas de mentalidad fija y de mentalidad de crecimiento fueron las únicas dimensiones con capacidad predictiva significativa sobre la plasticidad, con un efecto de supresión al incluirse simultáneamente: la mentalidad fija se asoció negativamente con la plasticidad y la de crecimiento, positivamente. Las futuras docentes mujeres presentaron niveles de plasticidad significativamente menores que sus pares varones, y una mayor edad se asoció positivamente con la plasticidad.

Discusión: Los hallazgos respaldaron la relevancia de las mentalidades docentes por sobre otras dimensiones declarativas, y sugirieron que las medidas basadas en viñetas capturan expectativas menos afectadas por la deseabilidad social que los autorreportes tradicionales.

Conclusiones: Se concluye que la formación inicial docente en educación física debe abordar las teorías implícitas esencialistas sobre la creatividad, además de las metodologías pedagógicas innovadoras, para fomentar expectativas de desarrollo más dinámicas hacia el futuro alumnado.
