  • This study was conducted to compare team creativity and creative problem solving styles between heterogeneous and homogeneous teams. Team composition was based on the levels of openness and extraversion. The results indicated that heterogeneous teams showed higher team creativity scores than homogeneous teams. Frequency distributions of creative problem solving styles indicated that heterogeneous team members preferred developer, external, and task-oriented styles. Homogeneous team members preferred explorer and person-oriented styles. Finally, limitations of this study and suggestions for future studies were discussed.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop children's creativity by applying creative problem solving model to elementary school science. Creative problem solving(CPS), the theoretical frame of model is proposed by Treffinger et al.(1994). CPS model is based on a substantial foundation of theory and research about creativity and problem solving. It is a well organized, deliberate set of methods you can call upon whenever you need new ideas or solutions and a process anyone can use to deal with many of life's everyday problems, opportunities, and challenges. CPS consists of three components. Within these three components, there are six specific stages during which creative and critical thinking abilities are used in harmony. Each stage involves both divergent and convergent thinking. The study was conducted for six week during the 1998 two semester in A elementary school which is located in Incheon. Eighty three 2nd grade students are selected for this study. The students were divided into two groups--experimental group and control group. The experimental group were taught in applying the CPS model, and the control group were taught by the traditional manner. Data for this study were collected by questionnaire which were developed by this researcher, and were analyzed by SPSSWIN 8.0. The results of this study were as follows: There was a significant difference on creativity between the instruction by applying CPS model and the traditional instruction. There was also gender differences on creativity between two groups. On fluency and flexibility as components of creativity, there was a signigicant difference between two groups. In conclusion, the instruction by applying CPS model was more effective in developing children's creativity than the traditional instruction.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the mathematics competencies required in middle school Korean language class to find out ways to improve student's debate ability. The results of the analysis showed that creativity and information processing ability in research activities; problem solving ability, creativity, information processing ability in planning activities; reasoning and creativity, information processing ability in rebutting activities; problem solving and reasoning in summary activities. In cross-inquiry activities, problem solving and reasoning, information processing, and creativity are required; creativity in final focus; problem solving and reasoning ability in judgment and general review; preparation time activities require problem solving, reasoning, and information processing ability. Therefore, in order to improve the debate ability of the students, it is required that the mathematics competencies such as problem solving, reasoning, information processing, and creativity are increased.

  • This study aims to contribute to the existing literature in creativity from the viewpoint of neuro-physiological analysis. Further, we looked at emotional influences on creativity within a business problem-solving context that implemented the use of a cognitive map in exploring creativity. For this purpose, we measured brain cortical activity as people solved a business strategy problem to explore the neural mechanisms of "insight problems" that are influenced by distinct emotions. Through an Electroencephalography (EEG) analysis of 34 qualified participants, we investigated the relationship between emotions and business problem-solving creativity (BPSC). Insightful results were derived such that participants primed in a negative condition evoked higher temporal alpha band activity compared to those primed in the positive condition. Meanwhile, there were no significant differences between two priming conditions on the other band activities. Therefore, this study sheds a very positive light on the scholarly value of conducting rigorous studies about the relationship between emotional states and BPSC status.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a Action Learning(AL) program in terms of problem solving, communication skills, emotional creativity and innovation behaviors. Design for this was a nonequivalent control group quasi-experimental study. The participants were C-hospital staff nurses in G city (Experimental group=29, Control group=30). The AL program was composed of fourteen sessions in eight weeks. Data were collected and the program was conducted from May. 26 to July. 18, 2008. Data were analyzed with ${\chi}^2$-test, Fisher's exact test, t-test and ANCOVA, and utilized the SPSS win 20.0 program. There were significant increases in problem solving skills, communication skills and emotional creativity in the experimental group compared to the control group. Considering the above results, AL program has proven to be an effective educational program for improving the problem solving, communication skills and emotional creativity of nurses.

  • Purpose: This study aimed at (a) developing an instructional model of creative thinking education on the problem-based learning method (C-PBL) in undergraduate nursing curriculum at one University, and (b) examining its effect on nursing students' level of creativity and outcomes from problem-based learning. Methods: The C-PBL model was implemented on 43 juniors of the experimental group with a 30 hour-nursing class during one semester. The control group, with 54 seniors, received 4 hours of problem based learning training in an adult nursing class. Pre-and post-tests were done with the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking for creative thinking ability, the Integrated Creativity Instrument for creative motivation and attitudes, the Problem Solving Competency questionnaire, and the Self-Directed Learning Instrument. Results: The C-PBL model was developed using a caring situation scenario to solve nursing problems with 3 training steps of 'encountering a patient in a caring situation', 'exploring nursing knowledge', and 'designing creative caring beyond given knowledge'. Between the experimental group and the control group, there were significant differences in creativity (p<.010), problem-solving ability (p<.010), and self-directed ability (p<.010). Conclusion: This C-PBL method could contribute in increasing creative competency as well as problem-solving ability for nursing students.
