criatividade, ensino superior, estudantes do ensino superior, bibliometria, pesquisa educacionalResumo
O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a produção científica global sobre criatividade no ensino superior, por meio de uma revisão sistemática com abordagem bibliométrica. No contexto universitário, a criatividade é reconhecida como uma competência essencial para enfrentar os desafios complexos do século XXI, integrando pensamento divergente, inovação pedagógica e habilidades transversais. A revisão tomou como referência a base de dados Scopus, abrangendo o período de 2015 a 2024 e incluindo um total de 2.258 documentos científicos. A análise foi realizada com as ferramentas VOSviewer e Bibliometrix, permitindo examinar diversas dimensões da produção acadêmica: tipos de documentos, evolução anual das publicações, países com maior volume, autores mais citados, revistas de alto impacto e agências financiadoras. Os resultados mostram uma tendência crescente em pesquisas sobre criatividade no ensino superior, com concentração geográfica em países como Estados Unidos, Reino Unido, Espanha e China, e forte presença editorial em revistas como Thinking Skills and Creativity e Frontiers in Psychology. Além disso, a análise de palavras-chave e co-ocorrências revelou sete agrupamentos temáticos que configuram um campo interdisciplinar em expansão, estruturado em torno de abordagens pedagógicas, psicológicas, tecnológicas e artísticas. Conclui-se que a criatividade deixou de ser uma linha marginal para consolidar-se como eixo estratégico de transformação curricular, embora persistam desafios relacionados à concentração editorial, à equidade geopolítica e à necessidade de ampliar a colaboração científica internacional.
