The overjustification as an inhibitable factor of the creativity in professional artistic formation centers

Abstract

Like an inhibiting factor of creative behaviours, the overjustification has an effect even on secondary socialization process of occupations whose function is to qualify cultural creators. In that case, we observe a dialogical cultural conflict in wich the overjustification is shown as a kind of coping srategy to solve institutional contradictions and strains. Respect to the Faculty of Fine Arts, there is still promoting a type of mannered, adaptative, and conformist student in spite of selfexpressionism predominance in pedagogical positions. It is not because of the imposition of academic patterns, but by the peculiar traits of the field of artistic production. This field imposes a self-referential and indefinable formative models that paradoxically favours that students of fine arts give precedence to referential patterns and behaviours of the school culture. The reason is that the they consider that the practice of the freedom of action from teachers conveys a risk for the successful end of his vocational training.
