ABSTRACT

Creative confidence can be reflected in our identities and behaviours. The study explored perception changes in creative challenges and creative personal identity among first-year-in-college students before and after taking an interdisciplinary creativity course. A total of 764 students reported significantly higher levels of creative personal identity and heightened awareness of creative challenges at the end of the semester. Self-doubt was the most frequently reported internal barrier, and time and money were the most common external blocks. The results also demonstrated a strong relationship between creative personal identity and internal obstacles. The study concluded that students exposed to creative learning experiences become more motivated to exert time and effort in cultivating creative capacity with elevated levels of confidence.

摘要

创造性的信心可以反映在我们的身份和行为中。该研究探讨了大学一年级学生在参加跨学科创造力课程之前和之后对创造性挑战和创造性个人身份的感知变化。共有 764 名学生在学期末报告了显着更高水平的创造性个人身份和对创造性挑战的更高认识。自我怀疑是最常见的内部障碍，时间和金钱是最常见的外部块。结果还表明，创造性的个人身份与内部障碍之间存在密切关系。该研究得出的结论是，接触过创造性学习经历的学生会更有动力投入时间和精力来培养创造性能力，并提高自信心。
