As applied to education, creativity has become an increasingly common, yet often unattainable learning objective. Educators need innovative approaches and tools to effectively apply creative teaching practices. The present study aims to investigate how wiki methodologies can foster creative pedagogies. Wikis constitute a good candidate for stimulating creative teaching approaches. Indeed, they provide flexible and open environments which foster collaboration and students' active participation. However, a gap remains in the literature regarding the relationship between wikis and creative pedagogies. In addition, the use of wikis by teachers and students as collaborative editing tools in today's classroom has been scarcely studied. In this multiple case study, seven school teachers from different educational centres designed four scenarios mediated by wikis and applied them with 143 students. Using in-depth interviews and expert evaluations, we explored how creativity emerges while teaching and learning with wikis. Based on results, we propose a map of creative pedagogies that appeared as the most prominent in the context of wiki-based learning, together with their characteristic components. Namely, the emerging creative pedagogies are synergistic collaboration, learner-centred, knowledge connection and open-ended ethos. This mapping can be applied to different educational contexts, although it may vary according to the specificities of the methodology and technology used. The study raises discussion on the pedagogical possibilities offered by the participative digital culture that defines wiki approaches.

RESUMEN • A pesar de su éxito académico, las mujeres siguen poco representadas en los estudios CTIM, principalmente en las ingenierías y tecnologías. Desde un enfoque descriptivo-interpretativo, se realizó un estudio de caso múltiple para analizar la elección de estudios durante el bachillerato, ahondando en los estereotipos y la autoeficacia. El análisis se basó en 89 discursos recogidos en entrevistas en profundidad y grupos de discusión, correspondientes a alumnas y alumnos de bachillerato, su profesorado, sus madres y padres, y universitarias de CTIM, profundizando en la comprensión de los elementos individuales, académico-profesionales y contextuales que influyen en la elección de los estudios. Los datos señalan que la autoeficacia en CTIM declarada por las jóvenes fue siempre positiva, siendo muy similares los intereses y las motivaciones del alumnado. Sin embargo, se observa una disparidad entre lo que ellas declaran y lo que finalmente deciden. Se propone una concepción dinámica de autoeficacia, con recomendaciones para diferentes actores y ámbitos de socialización orientados a construir nuevos modelos e identidades de las y los jóvenes.PALABRAS CLAVE: estudios CTIM; género; estereotipos; autoeficacia; elección académico-profesional. ABSTRACT • Despite their academic success, women remain underrepresented in STEM studies, especially in Engineering and Technologies. From a descriptive-interpretive approach, a multiple-case study was conducted to analyze the career choice during High School, and to deepen understanding on stereotypes and self-efficacy. Taken from in depth-interviews and focus groups, 89 speeches were collected in order to analyze the perceptions of high school students, their teachers, their parents, and female university students studying STEM, delving into the understanding of individual, academic-professional and contextual elements influencing choice of studies. The self-efficacy reported by the girls was always positive, and no clear gender differences were seen in students' interests and motivations. However, a disparity was perceived between girls' spoken declarations and the final decision taken. A dynamic conception of self-efficacy is proposed, along with suggestions for different actors and ambits of socialization oriented towards the construction of new models and identities of young students.
