Abstract	These four articles deal with historical developments of sloyd in Cuba and research on creativity with regard to sloyd education. (Sloyd, derived from a Swedish word, is an umbrella term for making or crafting things by hand.) "The Process of Sloyd Introduction in Cuba: Main Events" describes important events related to its introduction and development in Cuba from 1901-1914. The work of Swedish sloyd teachers in Cuba is emphasized. "Sloyd in Cuban and Latin American Pedagogy" describes the fluid exchange of ideas between Swedish pedagogue Salomon and teachers working in this area. It analyzes conditions that favored assimilation of sloyd by Latin American pedagogy. "Teaching-Organizational Factors in the Development of Creativity through Sloyd Education" presents results from the first year of experimental work with Cuban children that show that a flexible, participatory environment that permits and stimulates children's interests becomes a factor stimulating their creative potentialities. "Affective-Motivational Factors in the Sloyd Lesson: Influence on the Development of Creativity" presents initial results obtained after 3 years' development of a pedagogical experiment with Cuban children aged 9-12. The study of the affective-motivational world of children and its relation to their creative work in the workshop provides valuable outcomes to understand and make effective the teaching and learning process in sloyd education. Letters by Swedish sloyd teachers and Cuban educational authorities are appended. (Individual articles contain figures and tables.) (YLB)
