Abstract
This study assumes that recognition about scientific creativity may differ according to teacher, students and parents, and that this difference can affect the actual teaching, encouragement, and development of scientific creativity. Based on teacher's free responses and literature reviews about features of scientific creativity, we extracted 16 items describing contrary views about scientific creativity. Using these 16 items, we obtain responses from 652 students, teachers, soon-to-be-teachers (college of education students) and parents about whether they agree with each item or not. Results show that 1/4 of the participants agreed with the views contrary to the views accepted in literature. And we found out which views contrary to the accepted views in literature were agreed upon by participants, and that which items divided the groups for having contrary views. From these results, we discuss the possible effects of participants' recognition on teaching, encouragement and development of scientific creativity, and suggest so further studies.
