The literature points out that there are three aspects related to the role of the teacher in this context: the importance of developing students' creativity, teaching creatively and teaching creativity. Some authors emphasize the importance of the "creative act of teaching" in which creativity is the means and not the end of their daily practice. In view of the above, this study aims to investigate the creative process of higher education teachers in relation to their teaching practices. The study involved 17 university professors from two higher education institutions (HEIs) of the Federal District-a public university and a university center. The qualitative methodology was used and the instrument consisted of a semi-structured interview, with results resubmitted to the teachers after one year. The responses from the interviews were analyzed using the content analysis technique. As a result, it was observed that teachers perceive their teaching practices as a creative process but this varies according to the activity that the teacher has more affinity: class preparation, research, extension. The main results reported regarding the challenges of the 21st century were the use of information and communication technologies, the importance of creativity, the speed of updating, the potentialities of the network and the new profile of the student. Barriers to the expression of creativity such as motivational/emotional, time availability, institutional and interpersonal ones were pointed out by these teachers. It was also verified the existence of three profiles of teachers: those who are creative by necessity, those who are always looking for innovation and those who gradually incorporate creative solutions as they arise. As implications of this study, it is suggested that educational institutions encourage xiii teachers to work collaboratively, as in shared disciplines so that they can become familiar with the creative process of colleagues and other members of the pedagogical team. It is also important to emphasize that content linked to creativity can be incorporated into teacher training in a systematic and non-isolated way, as is usually still the case.

Some spiritual and creative characteristics of Brazilian indigenous peoples are described, as well as their legacy to Brazilian culture and creative giftedness. The paper concludes that Brazilian people have inherited a rich imagination, permeable culture, and many animist elements from the indigenous societies, which are factors that contribute to creative expression and the blossoming of spiritual intelligence.

Para isso, foram ouvidos 13 profissionais brasileiros, a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os dados foram analisados por meio de análise de conteúdo. Constatou-se que várias etapas do processo criativo se sobrepõem, como, por exemplo, o período de incubação de um trabalho funcionando como a preparação do próximo. Como fatores motivadores, destacam-se o prazer do ato de criar, a visibilidade do trabalho nas ruas e o seu alcance social.
