Abstract

While some researchers have focused on the study of creativity in Making contexts, no work has so far documented learners’ collective creativity as they engage in Making projects. Research on the assessment of collective creativity in Making projects and the relationship between collective creativity and project success remains scarce. In the present investigation, we adopted a Making approach to teaching and learning in the STEAM domains. The study sought to investigate young learners’ collective creativity as they engaged in Making projects using arts, crafts and technological tools. Findings from the study suggest that Making activities can enact the development of collective creativity and that there is a statistically significant linear relationship between collective creativity (metacognitive, cognitive and socio-communicative dimensions) and project success.

摘要

尽管一些研究人员专注于“制作环境”中的创造力研究，但到目前为止，尚无任何文献记录学习者的集体创造力当他们参与制作项目时。在制作项目中对集体创造力的评估以及集体创造力与项目成功之间的关系的研究仍然很少。在当前的调查中，我们在STEAM域中的教学中采用了制作方法。该研究旨在调查年轻学习者在从事使用艺术，手工艺和技术工具进行项目制作时的集体创造力。该研究的发现表明，开展活动可以促进集体创造力的发展，并且在集体创造力（元认知，认知和社会沟通维度）与项目成功之间存在统计上显着的线性关系。
