探討創作性動作活動對幼兒創造力發展的成效

本研究目的是探討創作性動作活動對幼兒創造力發展的成效及幼教老師對創作性動作活動的看法。研究在三所幼稚園進利創作性動作活動，研究對象是12位幼兒和3位教師。以陶倫思 (Torrance) 提出的創意思維中的流暢力、變通力、獨創力和精進力來分析幼兒的創造力表現，而教師對創作性動作活動的看法有助了解影響幼兒創造力發展的因素。結果顯示創作性動作活動是提升幼兒創造力的有效媒介之一，但教師對創作性動作活動的了解、經驗不足，是在幼稚園推行創作性動作活動一個很大的挑戰。
The purposes of the study were to examine the effectiveness of creative movement activity in promoting children’s creativity and teacher’s perceptions of the activities. The participants were 12 children and three class teachers. Torrance’s test of creative thinking was employed to measure children’s creativity. Teacher’s perceptions of creative movement activity provided insights into factors that influenced children’s creativity. Results showed that creative movement activity could be one of the effective ways to promote children’s creativity; however, teacher’s limited knowledge, skills and experiences seemed to be a great challenge for promoting children’s creativity in Hong Kong’s kindergartens.
