Abstract
Recently, the acquisition of teamwork skills as well as creativity has been a special challenge to engineering students. Also it became crucial for engineering educators to help them enhance effectively these skills. Thus, there has been a good deal of domestic and overseas research on teamwork skills and creativity. However, to date, there is relatively few studies analyzing two variables' relationships. This research aims to explore relationships between engineering students' teamwork skills and everyday creativity, and to suggest educational implications for future research and educational programs. For this purpose, this study was conducted with 450 engineering students at two universities in Korea, and their teamwork skills and everyday creativity have been measured. Our findings show that firstly, there were significant differences in teamwork skills by grade. Secondly, there were significant correlations among subcategories' variables of teamwork skills and everyday creativity. Thirdly, 35% of teamwork skills were explained by everyday creativity. Based on these findings, the theoretical and practical implications are discussed with particular attention to education for promoting teamwork skills.
