Development and validation of K-ICT (Korea-Integrative Creativity Test) for elementary and secondary school students

초록

In this study, 'Integrative Creativity Test (K-ICT) for elementary school and secondary school students' was developed and validated. The 'K-ICT' involves two domains of language and drawing; creative thinking ability involves fluency, flexibility, originality, imagination, sensitivity and elaboration. Creative personality includes curiosity, sensitive personality, task commitment, humor, adventure and problem-solving leadership. The participants of this study were elementary school and secondary school (middle and high) students in order to develop and validate the test and standardization in Korea. They (3,005 elementary school students, 1,669 middle school students and 1,714 high school students) were randomly chosen from big cities, medium and small sized cities. The results of this study will offer two significant meanings for educators and researchers. Firstly, the developmental trends of creativity for students from elementary to high school will be identified using the test instrument that was developed through this study. Secondly, it will help to develop the curriculum and teaching program for fostering the creativity for students in Korea and other countries. © 2015 International Information Institute.
