Abstract

This study compared students from schools that use and that do not use information and communication
technologies on their teaching practices. Seventy-six 5th grade-students participated in the study and answered three instruments on creativity, classroom creativity climate, and motivation to learn. The results indicated higher means in figural creativity and extrinsic motivation among students whose teachers use technology. The students from the schools that do not use technology reported more interest for learning. This study contributed to demystify the idea that the use of technology in teaching practice is an essential condition for the development of student’s creativity and motivation.
