The Study of Creativity, Creativity Style, Creativity Climate Applying Creativity Learning Strategies - An Example of Engineering Education

Creativity is currently regarded as one of the critical competence in numerous learning theories. With cultivation of positive creativity, the reinforcement of critical ability and thinking will be advantages in the era. At present, many evaluations on creativity result are mainly based on students’ finished work. As to the analysis, the discussion mostly focuses on single dimension. However, there are various factors of creativity and it lacks the study on correlation among creative style, creative climate and creativity. Thus, based on creativity learning, this study applies PBL, Project-Based Learning, in information engineering project and conducts pretest and posttest of Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) and the indicators of creativity. In the course of project, it introduces SCAMPER creative thinking strategy in learning platform and learners fill in questionnaires of creative style and creative climate after the class. According to analytical result, pretest and posttest of the TTCT show significant difference. In questionnaire of creative style, learners’ creative core characteristics and creative assistance habit reveal significant and positive feedback; as to questionnaire of creative climate, it is significant. Students recognize the importance of atmosphere and positive creative climate reinforces development of creative competence.
