The influence of the Reggio Emilia approach on the development of creative thinking and problem-solving skills

The teacher was interviewed through Zoom as well as observed as they presented an art lesson. The students formed part of the observation lessons and were therefore the secondary participants.

After the observation lesson, the teacher was asked to form part of a collaborative discussion to discuss the positive and negative aspects of the lessons they presented. The qualitative study used the interpretivist paradigm and a multiple case study methodology to answer the research questions. For the art lessons, the teachers were asked to read a book about making mistakes and how these mistakes could be turned into something beautiful despite the mistake.
