“…When they collaborate and engage in discussions with others, it stimulates their cognitive development and helps them see the world from different angles. This process of learning from others fosters creativity as it encourages them to think beyond their immediate experiences and consider alternative solutions to problems (Faizi, Azari & Maleki, 2012;Diener, Wright, Brehl, & Black, 2016& Yildiz & Yildiz, 2021. Second, creating a creative environment.…”

This study found the need to explore the abilities of preschool children in developing creativity and applying moral values while interacting with multimedia storyboards. The study conducted is a case study involving a group of 5 preschool children aged 6 years old in Melaka. The study's findings were processed using a qualitative approach and the NEMD Theory from the generated storylines. The study's results recorded that when children tell stories using multimedia storyboards, the resulting storylines are more complex and incorporate moral values spontaneously compared to storytelling without multimedia storyboards. The findings of this study can fulfill the Student Aspirations in the Education Development Plan (2013Plan ( -2025, which aims to produce students with communication skills. Furthermore, this study can serve as a guide not only for children but also for maximizing the emergence of talents that can enhance the quality of the country's education.

“…The moderate, but significant, correlations in the scores of fluency and originality were found between the TCAM and the other tests (Scibinetti et al, 2011). Although imagination is not easy to define or measure quantitatively, this dimension should be included as creative imagination peaks during preschool years and preschoolers enthusiastically express their imaginative ideas (Diener, Wright, Brehl, & Black, 2016).…”

Autonomy is one of the core motivators of children's creativity and (non)compliance. But it is less known how children's (non)compliance links to later creative potential and how maternal parenting behaviors contribute to those links. This article, as part of a longitudinal study, tested whether preschoolers' committed compliance and self-assertion related to their potential for motor creativity and how maternal autonomy-supporting and relatedness-supporting behaviors predicted those relations. Eighty-two Chinese children (32 boys) and their families were included. At 38 months, committed compliance and self-assertion were coded from a cleanup task. Maternal autonomysupporting and relatedness-supporting behaviors were coded from two 5-min mother-child freeplays. At 60 months, the Thinking Creativity in Action and Movement test (TCAM) was used to measure children's potential for motor creativity. Results showed that after controlling for gender and receptive language, the 38-month-olds' committed compliance negatively, and self-assertion positively, linked to creative potential at 60 months. Moderation analyses revealed that the association between self-assertion and creative potential was strengthened by maternal autonomysupporting behavior. This moderating effect, however, was weakened by maternal relatednesssupporting behavior. But maternal parenting behaviors did not moderate the association between committed compliance and creative potential. The limitations of this study were discussed.

“…These four dimensions are reflected in the following behaviours: the ability to accept and express feelings, the ability to react to changes, emotional regulation, controlling one’s own impulses, belonging to a group, cooperating with others, expressing disagreement, the ability to adapt to the expectations of other members, etc. [ 11 ]. In the absence of theoretical-applicative recommendations, the teacher uses the Curriculum only to derive the necessity to form these behaviours, without having, most of the time, the certainty of the scientific and methodological validity of their approaches.…”

The purpose of our research is to determine emotional and behavioural modelling in an emotionally safe environment in a group of kindergarten preschoolers, following the application of an innovative curriculum project, designed and implemented for the first time, Educational Program for the training and development of social and emotional skills (DeCo-S.E.). Eighteen teachers, involved in the research, were divided into two samples: the experimental group (EG) consisting of 10 preschool teachers who were trained to take up the DeCo-S.E. program, and the control group (GC) including eight preschool teachers who applied the classic educational strategies. The DeCo–S.E. program is aimed at developing social and emotional skills (emotion identification, frustration tolerance), reducing behavior problems, and solving problems with peers as part of the training process. The study also included 142 children in their last year at kindergarten, aged X ± SD 5.87 ± 2.87 years old, divided into two groups: the EG consisting of 74 children to whom the experimental program was implemented and the GC comprising 72 children who did not take part in the training program. In the present study, we applied only the Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scales for Teachers (PKBS-2) questionnaire to children in the pre- and post-experimental phases. The results were processed with the statistical software SPSS 22. The analysis of the scores of the questionnaire applied to the children highlighted a significant improvement in EG on both scales. The study reveals the effectiveness of the Development of social and emotional skills programs in preschool children has proven its effectiveness by reducing undesirable/maladaptive behaviours and positively developing socio-emotional skills in preschool children.
