The present work studies the influence of leisure activities on the creative intelligence of the students. An experimental pre- and post-test design was carried out with individuals selected in a sampling process. The design identifies the ease of students to place themselves in possible contexts and solve them mathematically through Polya’s phases. | Journal of Technology and Science Education JOTSE, 2018 – 8(2): 126-131 – Online ISSN: 2013-6374 – Print ISSN: 2014-5349 LEISURE ACTIVITIES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE IN MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM SOLVING Angélica Mercedes Tumbaco Castro1 , Galo Ernestro Cabanilla Guerra2 Christian Antonio Pavón Brito1 , Tannia Gabriela Acosta Chávez1,3 1 , Universidad de Guayaquil, Facultad de Filosofía, Letras y Ciencias de la Educación (Ecuador) 2 Universidad Tecnológica Empresarial de Guayaquil (Ecuador) 3 Universidad Agraria del Ecuador, Facultad de Economía Agrícola (Ecuador) atumbaco33@, gcabanilla@, , Received February 2018 Accepted March 2018 Abstract The present work studies the influence of leisure activities on the creative intelligence of the students. An experimental pre- and post-test design was carried out with individuals selected in a sampling process. The design identifies the ease of students to place themselves in possible contexts and solve them mathematically through Polya’s phases. Two target groups were then located, one of which was applied the independent variable. The results were verified using the variable contrast statistical method, which concluded that leisure activities affect creative intelligence in positive terms, since the experimental group of post-test presented greater success in the entelechy of possible scenarios, facilitating the solving of mathematical problems related to different topics. Keywords – Mathematics, Leisure Activities, Creative Intelligence. ---------- 1. Introduction This study emerges from the experience and expertise of certain teachers in the ninth year of General Basic Education, who in an attempt to make their instruction more effective, decided to experiment with the motivational aspect. They therefore first analyzed the learning difficulties associated with certain topics and .
