The analysis of the substratum of contemporary thought, as constructed with the scientific resources most cited by the most prolific authors in the area and the use of the main descriptors employed in its scholarly production, has enabled us to infer the thematic orientation of this field of research towards formal education in the school environment and the curriculum (Blaikie et al, 2004;Kalin & Barney, 2014;Popovich 2015;Steers, 2014), as well as towards the development of creativity (Adams & Owens, 2015;Steers, 2009), higher education (González-Zamar & Abad-Segura, 2020;Fontal et al, 2021;Miralay, 2024;Sclater, 2016) and teacher education (Adams, 2007;Garcia-Lazo et al, 2024;Huerta, 2022;Page et al, 2011).
