The literature review tells us that spontaneity and creativity are intrinsic to human beings and essential for their development. The stimuli that children receive during childhood in their social and family environment and at school will be decisive, as well as their characteristic personality traits and their ability to take risks, which can contribute to the creative process, thus avoiding wasting human potential. Many teachers are unaware that their attitudes towards their pupils and the methodology they use in teaching can favour learning or, on the contrary, create barriers to its development. The aim of this work is to identify actions proposed by the teacher that favour the creative process in everyday classroom life. The research was carried out in a primary school class in a public school in the city of Rio de Janeiro in a case study, using systematic observation involving students and teachers, as well as an interview with another teacher from the same school who also works in the primary grades. So, how can we think about teaching in such a way as to stimulate the process created?
