Sumario:In this study, we have assessed the effect that teachers' positive expectations may have on their student's verbal creativity. To this end, we have worked with an experimental teacher who holds high expectations of the creativity of students, and a control teacher, where this was not the case and whose positive, favourable expectations of pupils were not high. The statistical analyses carried out have showed a significant increase in the verbal creativity variables evaluated (fluency, flexibility and originality) in the experimental group in comparison to the scores of the control group.
