We present the results of a cuasi experimental study, which objective was to analyze the impact in the student’s learning once they where taught by teachers trained in creativity liberation and promotion methodology (learning for creating). The study compared pre – post three experimental institutions and three control, in second grade of high school. In the experimental group, the teachers of the experimental class were trained in the methodology. This implicated an induction strategy the semester before the application and a strategy o group accompaniment and reflection about the implemented practices during the semester of the application. In the analysis of multivariate covariance, training is considered as an independent variable and the variables teaching (teacher) and academic yield (students) as dependent variables. The respective measurements pre – experiment are considered as covariance. The quantitative results report a significant difference in the students of the experimental group in the academic yield level of the students and in the teacher’s acts of speech. Conclusions point to the usefulness of the teaching design methodology, and the four principles for a “learning that allows creativity”, as a useful change strategy in the pedagogic practices, for the investigation in the educational system.
