Abstract

The objective of the research was to determine the conditioning factors of creativity and its contribution to the development of scientific attitudes in a sample of 169 university chemistry students. It had a quantitative approach, an explanatory level and a non-experimental, causal design. Factors such as creativity, scientific attitude and reliability were evaluated. Hypothesis testing was performed using Linear Regression. It was concluded that creativity in creative environments, creative techniques, and problem-solving strategies explain the strengthening of positive scientific attitudes, behavioral and affective.
