ARCE-SAAVEDRA, Boris Jesús  and  BLUMEN, Sheyla. Critical thinking, creativity, self-efficacy, and teaching practice in Peruvian teacher trainers. Revista de Psicología [online]. 2022, vol.40, n.1, pp.603-633. ISSN 0254-9247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/psico.202201.020.

The relationship between dispositions towards critical thinking, creative-innovative performance, self-efficacy and teaching practice was assessed in Peruvian teacher trainers from the Amazonian region of San Martin. Direct and big relationships were found between all variables. A model that explained 42% of the variance of teaching practice is presented, where dispositions towards critical thinking and creative and innovative performance have a direct effect on teacher self-efficacy. In addition, teacher self-efficacy fully mediates the relationship between dispositions toward critical thinking, and partially mediates the relationship between creative-innovative performance and teaching practices. Likewise, results show differences according to sex, work experience, specialization and work place. It is suggested to include other actors to get a holistic view of the teachers’ trainer capacities.

Keywords : Dispositions toward critical thinking; creative and innovative performance; teacher self-efficacy; teaching practice; teacher´s trainers.
