Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the challenges of creative thinking development and aesthetics in preschool children. The method of this qualitative research is of phenomenological type and its statistical population was formed by preschool teachers of Saqez city in 2019, which continued with purposeful sampling until the saturation limit was reached (21 people).The measurement tool was a semi-structured interview. The results of the interview were classified into nine core code categories and four optional codes of "criticism and strictness and imposing on children, lack of concentration in children or scattering the mind, lack of development of children's professional skills and lack of promotion of critical thinking". Therefore, it can be concluded that art and beauty can be considered as a suitable mental platform for creating real knowledge and education.
