description The descriptive use of the slideshow, common in classrooms of the School Victor Manuel Lodoño in Viani, Cundinamarca, gave rise to the concern for inquiring about how this activity would favor the capacity for reflection and creativity of students. With this purpose, a research was conducted, focused on identifying how the use of the PowerPoint program contributes to develop the lateral thinking of student in the seventh grade classroom. Cognitivist theory, research projects on creativity, and qualitative research method, with an ethnographic approach, were taken up again, and guidelines of direct observation and interviews with teachers and students were applied. Finally, it was concluded that PowerPoint favors the development of lateral thinking of students based on the mastery they have of the topics and the program, which allows them to energize the interpretative competence by using drawing tools, expressing flexibility, fluency and originality of new ideas, and different schemes in their works, and proposing solutions to various situations. These advantages were highlighted during the activities for the identification of students’ prior knowledge in collaborative work and tasks, in performing functions assigned individually and in groups, and in the guidance and motivation of teachers.

Siendo la presentación de diapositivas de uso descriptivo frecuente en las aulas de la Institución Educativa Víctor Manuel Lodoño del municipio de Vianí, Cundinamarca,surgió la inquietud de indagar cómo esta actividad favorecía la capacidad de reflexión y creatividad de los estudiantes. Con este fin se realizó una investigación centrada en identificar cómo contribuye el uso del programa PowerPoint en el desarrollo del pensamiento lateral del estudiante en el aula de grado séptimo. Para este trabajo se retomó la teoría cognoscitivista, proyectos de investigación sobre creatividad, y el método cualitativo de investigación con enfoque etnográfico, aplicando guías de observación directa y entrevistas con docentes y estudiantes. Finalmente se logró identificar que PowerPoint favorece el desarrollo del pensamiento lateral de los estudiantes con base en el dominio que ellos tengan de los temas y del programa, lo que les permite dinamizar la competencia interpretativa mediante el uso de las herramientas de dibujo, expresar flexibilidad, fluidez y originalidad de nuevas ideas, diferentes esquemas en sus trabajos, y propuestas de solución a variadas situaciones. Estas ventajas se destacaron durante las actividades de identificación de saberes previos de los estudiantes, en el trabajo colaborativo y por tareas, en el cumplimiento con funciones asignadas individual y grupalmente y en la orientación y motivación del docente. La présentation de diapositives, faisant partie d’une utilisation descriptive fréquente dans les salles de clase de l’Institut éducatif Víctor Manuel Londoño de la Municipalité de Vianí, Cundinamarca, a fait apparaître la préoccupation de rechercher comment cette activité pouvait favoriser la capacité de réflexion et de créativité des étudiants. Dans ce but, une recherche, centralisée sur l’identification de comment l’on peut contribuer à l’utilisation du logiciel PowerPoint dans le développement de la pensée latérale de l’étudiant, dans la salle de classe de septième année, a été réalisée. Pour ce travail la théorie cognitiviste a été reprise, les projets d’investigation sur la créativité et la méthode qualitative de recherche avec une approche ethnographique, appliquant des manuels d’observation directe et des entrevues avec des enseignants et des étudiants. Finalement on a réussi à identifier que Power Point favorise le développement de la pensée latérale des étudiants sur base de la maitrise qu’ils possèdent des thèmes et du logiciel, ce qui permet de dynamiser la compétence interprétative au moyen de l’utilisation des outils de dessin, d’exprimer une certaine flexibilité, une fluidité et une originalité des nouvelles idées, différents schémas dans leurs travaux et des propositions de solutions à des situations très variées. Ces avantages ont été remarqués pendant les activités d’identification des savoirs préalables des étudiants, dans le travail de groupe et au moyen des devoirs, dans l’accomplissement des fonctions assignées individuellement ou en groupe et dans l’orientation et la motivation de l’enseignant. Sendo a apresentação de slides de uso descritivo frequente nas salas de aula da escola Víctor Manuel Londoño do município de Vinaí, Cundinamarca, surgiu à inquietude de indagar como esta atitude favorecia a capacidade de reflexão e criatividade dos alunos. Com este foco realizou-se uma pesquisa focada em identificar como contribui o uso do programa PowerPoint no desenvolvimento do pensamento lateral do aluno na sala de aula da sétima série. Para isso retomou-se a teoria cognoscitivista, projetos de pesquisa sobre criatividade, e o método qualitativo de pesquisa focado na etnografia, aplicando guias de observação direta e entrevistas a docentes e alunos. No final logrou-se identificar que o PowerPoint favorece o desenvolvimento do pensamento lateral dos alunos baseados no domínio que eles tenham dos temas e do programa, o que permite dinamizar a competência interpretativa mediante o uso das ferramentas de desenho, expressar flexibilidade, fluidez e originalidade de novas ideias, diferentes esquemas nos seus trabalhos, e propostas de solução a variadas situações. Estes achados se observaram diante as atividades de identificação de saberes prévios dos alunos, no trabalho colaborativo e por tarefas, no logro de funções assinaladas individual e grupalmente e na orientação e motivação do professor.
