The aim of the present article is to focus on the operational aspects referring to the actions--strategies and on the defined modalities of establishing educational objectives/competences. In the achievement of our work a special attention has been paid to the operational aspects of the learning process of the optical phenomena. There were carried out representative and functional experiments concerning optical phenomena like: reflection of light, refraction of light, dispersion of light, using accessible and/or recyclable materials to run our experiments. The education of creativity implies both an explicit approach from the cognitive perspective and also all the dimensions of the personality and intellectual, psychomotor, affective and motivational potential of the students, together with the environmental factors.
