創造力的發展與實踐

吳靜吉.丁興祥.邱皓政 主編 主編

  「人類基因的成份有98 %與猩猩相同…若非創造力,人之異於猿猴者幾希?」,這是芝加哥大學心理學教授Mihaly Csiksentmihalyi在其論著《創造力》(Creativity)一書的引言,一語道盡了創造力這個課題的重要性。

  人類文明的起源與延續,可以說與創造力息息相關。從個人問題解決的能力、科技的發展到社會文化與企業組織的改革與創新,都與人類創造力的發揮有關。然而創造力就像其他高層次的認知能力的研究(如智力),是個相當複雜且抽象的研究課題。不論是創造力的定義與內涵、創造力測量的方法與技術、影響創造力發展的社會文化因素、環境因素的影響、創造力的發展與培育、組織創新與文明的發展等等,每一個議題都曾引起大量的研究與討論。

  從基爾福特(Guilford)在美國心理學年會呼籲對於創造力的重視開始,近半世紀來,創造力的研究討論發展迅速,無數的行為科學界與教育學界的研究者攜手合作,繳出了一份亮麗的成績單。國內的創造力研究也逐漸活躍,成果豐碩。在跨越公元兩千年的今天,除了回顧過去的研究成果,發展應用的價值,更重要的是審視人類創造能力的本質與現象,為人類新世紀的開展,尋找生命力的起源。本專題的主要目的,即在徵求對於創造力主題有興趣的學者、專家、以及實務工作者,從哲學、心理、教育等不同的角度,來探討創造力的本質與現象,並擴及應用的領域。

  創造力專題構想在刊登之後,即獲得廣泛的迴響,尤其是對於吳靜吉教授所撰寫的專文〈華人學生創造力的發掘與培育〉,我們收到了來自兩岸四地區(大陸、香港、新加坡、台灣)多位長期投入創造力研究的學者專家的回應,每一篇回應都是擲地有聲,對於華人社會的創造力問題著墨甚深。而吳靜吉教授的再回應〈華人創造力的研究和教育從分享開始〉,從吳教授個人常年以來從事創造力研究工作的心得出發,精彩的對話與回應,著實是一場豐富的知識饗宴。

  在專題論文方面,本期專題收錄了五篇論文,詹志禹的〈科學發現與知識成長:我們能從科學哲學當中學到什麼?〉一文,藉由科學哲學的架構,探討了科學活動與人類創造活動的關連,文中不僅檢視了自亞里士多德以來科哲諸公的學說觀點,指出了知識成長與人類創造思考的歷程與關連,也在結論中指出科哲思想對於學習、教學或學術研究的含意;洪瑞雲與吳庭瑜的〈法則發現的背後:合作與解釋對科學推理技能獲得的影響〉則透過實證性研究,探討合作與解釋的經驗如何影響一個人由有限的案例中導出正確法則,對於科學教育或一般教育如何教導學生有效從事解釋的活動,提出了具體的論證,兩篇文章對於科學活動與創造力關係的討論,有異曲同工之妙。

  另外兩篇論文,鄭英耀與王文中的〈影響科學競賽績優教師創意行為之因素〉及邱皓政的〈學校組織創新氣氛的內涵與教師創造力的實踐:另一件國王的新衣?〉,則是針對學校老師所進行的實證研究;前者是對在科展上表現優異的老師,透過訪談與問卷,歸納出影響科學競賽績優教師創意發展的個人特質、家庭、學校與組織因素;後者則是以質化的方式,分析了影響中學教師表現創意的相關因素,並提出了一套整合模式去解釋校園當中,教師如何表現他們的創新行為。這兩篇論文更貼近了我們的校園環境,對於瞭解我們校園當中的創意活動,都有著相當深刻的剖析。最後,葉玉珠與吳靜吉的〈創意發展組織因素量表之編製:以科技產業為例〉一文,則從創意培育的觀點,編製一份評量科技產業影響創意發展的組織環境量表,讓創造力的研究工作者,多了一份可資運用的測量工具。

  整個專輯進行之際,恰逢教育部頒訂《創造力教育白皮書》,象徵我國將朝創造力國度(Republic of Creativity)邁進,益發說明創造力的研究確實有它的時代意義,不僅攸關了科學的發展、人類文明的進步與生活品質的提升,更將影響我們下一代的教育與發展。從開始徵求論文以來,我們體會到了華人學者對於學生創造力的關懷與用心,在蒐集整理研究者的心得與成果之餘,我們也體會了這股力量足以形成一個創造力的研究社群,我們高度的期盼它的誕生。這次的專題編纂,做為主編的我們以及工作伙伴,得到了最豐富的收穫,希望讀者們也是滿載而歸。

  亞洲華人社會的政府和民間,幾乎同步強調創造力教育的重要性,但為什麼華人學生的創造力仍然還在臥虎待啟、藏龍待醒的階段呢?
  其原因可能在於華人社會過份強調IQ而忽略創造力;重視外在動機而忽略內在動機;強調知識來自權威的傳授,而忽略意義的主動建構;強調競爭表現、單打獨鬥,忽略團隊合作、知識分享;強調考試結果,忽略學習過程;重視紙筆測驗、記憶背誦,忽略真實評量、多元表現;支持乖男巧女、標準答案,排斥好奇求變、獨立思考;重視創造知識的傳授,忽略創造歷程的體驗;強調努力認真,忽略樂在其中;重視言教要求,忽略潛移默化;重視學科本位,忽略課程整合。
   那麼,如何發掘華人學生的創造力呢?作者建議從學生的多元成就發掘創意;重視具有華文特色的創造歷程評量;強調生活風格的評量;強調創意文化(包括動機氣候)的評估;重視守門人的影響。
   在培育華人學生的創造力方面,則可積極建立創造力的價值與態度;形塑創造的生活風格;以多元智慧為架構培育創造力;採取匯合取向或科際整合取向培育創造力;陶融創意文化;妥善選擇創意守門人;包容、尊重與支持多元團體與個別差異;強調創意歷程與樂在其中的體驗;將創造力融入各科教學與課程統整;創造力相關技巧與特定領域創造技巧並重;同時重視多元與真實、個別與團體、歷程與產品的評量;並謹記「上行下效」比「掌控管教」更有效。

  In Chinese societies throughout Asia, both governments and the private sectors are stressing the importance of recognizing and nurturing creativity in students. This implies that creativity in Chinese students is still undiscovered and under-developed. Why?
  The author argues that education policy and practice in almost every Chinese society neglect and/or discourage students' curious exploration and independent thinking, intrinsic motivation, and other nine factors that are conducive to creativity. Drawing on research in Taiwan, the author suggests five ways to identify creativity in Chinese students and recommends that in order to nurture creativity, educators and researchers must:(1)create a goal structure that values creativity, (2) construct activities in a creative lifestyle,(3)employ multiple intelligence theory as a framework to cultivate creativity,(4)adopt the confluence approach and maintain interdisciplinary perspective to study creativity,(5)gradually shape a creative culture that allows informal and implicit learning of creative behavior,(6)select appropriate gatekeepers when necessary,(7)tolerate and respect diversity and individual differences,(8)create opportunities for experiential learning and flow experiences,(9)infuse creativity into the curriculum and make use of project-based learning,(10)teach both creativity-relevant skills and domain-relevant skills,(11)emphasize both multiple and authentic assessment of individuals, teams, and (12)always remember that mentoring is more effective than controlling.

  本文的主要目的在依循科學哲學發展的歷史脈絡,以各派科學哲學的觀點分析「科學發現」與「知識成長」的歷程。經過重新檢視歸納法、邏輯實證論、波普的觀點、孔恩的貢獻、費若本的啟示、圖爾明的模式、以及夏皮爾的論述之後,我們可以得到下列結論:
1.歸納法在本質上是一種「假設--驗證」的問題解決歷程。
2.不要期待透過簡單、機械性、神秘的、意外的歷程,就能有重要的科學發現。
3.科學發現必須以科學創造為前提,沒有創造就沒有發現。
4.科學發現雖無邏輯可循,卻有理由可循,是一個理性的歷程。
5.典範會幫助創造,也會抑制創造,必須了解典範、尋找異例、偵知錯誤、容忍危機、挑戰典範,才能創造新典範。
6.創造思考與批判思考之間、擴散思考與聚斂思考之間、或變異與選擇之間的循環回饋歷程,是知識成長的基本歷程。
作者並針對每一條結論提出其在學習、教學或學術研究上的含意。

 The aim of the current paper was to analyze the process of knowledge growth and scientific discovery by historically reviewing the philosophy of science. After re-assessing inductivism, logical positivism, falsificationism, Kuhn's contribution, Feyerabend's position, Toulmin's model, and Shapere's theory, the following conclusions were derived. First, the so-called "inductive reasoning" is essentially a "hypothesis-testing" process. Second, it should not be expected that important scientific discovery could be achieved simply by mechanistic, mysterious, or accidental process. Third, scientific discovery presupposes scientific creativity. Forth, although there is no logic of scientific discovery, there usually are good reasons for it. In other words, the process of scientific discovery is rational. Fifth, paradigms can facilitate as well as constrain creativity. In order to create new paradigms, learners should be able to understand paradigms, find out counter examples, detect errors, tolerate crisis, and challenge existing paradigms. Sixth, the fundamental process of knowledge growth is basically a dynamic, iterating, bootstrapping, and self-organizing process of creative and critical thinking, i.e., of variation and selection. Some implications of the above conclusions for learning, instruction, and research were also discussed.

Keywords:scientific discovery, knowledge growth, philosophy of science, creative thinking, critical thinking, inductivism, logical positivism, falsificationism, paradigms, evolutionary theory, self-organizing.

法則發現的背後: 合作與解釋對科學推理技能獲得的影響(1)

  以合作的方式進行法則發現作業可以提高正確法則被發現的機會,在推理過程中對自己的思考活動進行解釋,或是要求合作的伙伴解釋其行為、想法也有同樣的效果(吳庭瑜、吳明樺、洪瑞雲,1998)。
  本研究的目的在探討究竟合作與解釋的經驗如何影響一個人由有限的案例中導出正確法則。本研究的資料係上引研究中114個大學生進行法則發現作業時在假設產生與假設檢定過程中記錄下來的書面文字資料。經分析後發現,在兩人實際合作的情形下修訂假設時使用的策略會較符合Bruner等人(1956)所稱之理想的假設測試策略。但此策略在事後單獨解題時並不會再出現,顯示合作對測試策略的獲得缺乏效果。
   然而,先前合作的經驗仍有助於正確法則的發現,此可能和合作可以豐富個人的領域知識有關。相較之下,解釋雖也可提昇法則發現的次數,但與合作最大的不同之處在於解釋的效果是展現在由案例中萃取出較多屬性、產生較多樣的假設與假設修訂策略。
   此結果顯示解釋極可能是塑造、獲得假設產生與測試策略的因素。

 Collaboration can improve the rule discovery performance. Self-explanation or asking the collaborator for explanations can also increase the number of rules discovered (Wu, Wu, & Horng, 1998). The purpose of the present study was to investigate how collaboration and explanation work to affect one's reasoning during rule discovery. The data were written protocals produced by 114 college students during hypothesis generation and hypothesis testing in Wu, Wu, & Horng's study. Results showed that working in dyad may increase the likelihood of using a strategy closer to the ideal hypothesis testing strategy proposed by Bruner, Goodnaw and Austin (1956). However, there was no sign of transfer in the subsequent testing session when participants were working alone. Nevertheless, the collaborative experience still had an effect on the number of rules correctly discovered. The effect of collaboration is very likely due to knowledge sharing between the collaborators. The instruction to engage in explanatory activity may increase the number of rules correctly discovered as well. Moreover, with practice, explanation appears to enable one to extract more features from the observed instances and come up with various approaches to modify a hypothesis when confronted with negative testing results. Thus, explanation appears to implicitly shape one's hypothesis-testing strategy.

  「不創新,就落後」(Leonard & Straus, 1997)。創造力是推動科技、文化進步、提昇個人智慧的原動力。本研究的目的在藉由訪談、問卷歸納出影響科學競賽績優教師創意發展的個人特質、家庭、學校(組織)因素。
  本研究以1994-1998年參加中小學科學競賽獲獎三次以上之36名績優教師為訪談對象,並比較224名一般教師和績優教師在研究者自編之「創造力發展量表」上的反應之差異。結果發現:科學績優教師擁有許多共同的個人特質、成長背景以及工作環境,然而卻也各自擁有一些獨特性。
   一般教師和科學競賽績優教師對影響創造力發展與精進之51項因素重要性的評估一致性高、評價也高;另外,科學競賽績優教師在擁有影響創造力之人格特質、能力和學校(組織)因素則明顯多於一般教師。研究最後除針對結果做深入討論,並對未來研究方向提出若干建議。

 "Innovate or fall behind" (Leonard & Straus, 1997). The purpose of this study is to explore personal, family, and school factors that influence creativity development. Thirty-six primary and secondary school teachers who guided students to win scientific competitions more than three times in five years were interviewed. These award-winning teachers as along with other 224 non-award-winning teachers were administered with an inventory of 51 items pertaining to factors deemed helpful to creativity development. Results show that there were some commonalities as well as uniqueness in terms of personal, family, and school backgrounds among these award-winning teachers. Both groups of teachers regarded the 51 items very helpful to creativity development. In addition, the award-winning teachers possessed more personal, family, and school (organization) characteristics that were deemed helpful to creativity development than the non-award-winning teachers.

Keywords:
creativity behavior, scientific competitions, award-winning teachers.

  為培養學生的創造力,建構一個充滿自由、開放、人本、創造、適性的學習成長環境是一個重要的工作。
  本研究針對中等學校教職人員進行實地研究,以了解校園環境中對於學校教職員創意行為的助長或妨礙因素。研究的進行採取訪談法與自由反應問卷法,藉以瞭解校園組織運作對於個人創意表現的環境影響因素,並進行案例追蹤及整理。總計完成中等學校教職員18人的訪問與82位教職員的自由反應問卷資料,抽取出764筆反應詞類。資料的整理分析發現,台灣地區高中職校園的創意氣氛之形成,主要受到「工作與任務的特質」、「教育政策與社會風氣」、「組織結構與運作機制」、「人際互動」等幾個主要因素的影響。從組織內部的因素來看,校長「守門人」角色的發揮,以及師生間的緊密互動,對於教職員的創新行為有著相當重要且直接的影響;而組織是否重視團隊運作、鼓勵及提供學習成長機會、供給充份的資源如時間、設備等,也是校園組織創新氣氛形塑的重要因素。
   從外部的影響來看,本土教育改革運動的推展,相當程度影響校園組織運作,並反映在校園對創造性氣氛的重視上。
   最後,本文除了提出「校園組織創新歷程整合模式」來整理研究發現之外,並討論當前校園組織風氣的變遷趨勢,是為台灣打造一個創造力國度(Republic of Creativity),還是只是一件國王的新衣?

 An open, human-based, and creative learning environment is critical for incubating creativity. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influences of the school organizational environment on the high school teacher's creative performances. A field study is designed to investigate the creative organizational climate and related influential factors at Taiwan's high school campus, by using interview and open-ended questionnaire. Interviewees were 18 teachers, principles, and administer, who were purposively selected from different types of high schools. The open-ended questionnaire was administrated to 82 high school teachers and administers for collecting their opinions about the influential factors on campus's creative climate. Results indicated that the educational reform in Taiwan and organizational structure have significant influences on campus's creative climate; the organizational structure, administration policies, leaders' efficiency, team work, job redesign, and communication system may influence employee's creative performance at campus. An integrative model of organizational creativity at campus based on the finding of this current study was proposed at the end. Discussion also involved the issue of that the Republic of Creativity, a movement pushed by Ministry of Education in Taiwan, may be a kind of "the new cloth of the king".

 Employees' development of creativity has been suggested as a key factor to the success of a company; as a result, it is invaluable to develop an instrument that helps technology companies evaluate their organizational atmosphere and accordingly, implement necessary innovation. The purpose of this study was to, based on interviews, develop an inventory for understanding organizational factors that influence their employees' creativity development in technology companies. This study included two phases: interview and pretest of the inventory. Thirty highly creative people in the field of technology participated in the interview and 283 employees in technology companies participated in the pretest. Data analysis methods included content analysis, internal consistency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, Pearson correlation, t-test, frequency, and descriptives. The findings in this study revealed that the developed inventory (The Inventory of Organizational Factors to Creativity Development , IOF-CD) had satisfactory reliability and validity. The IOF-CD comprised four factors; the Cronbach's α coefficients for the four factors and all items were .86, .88, .87, .77, and .94, respectively. In addition to having a significant correlation with self-report scores of creativity, the score of IOF-CD had power in distinguishing those who were creative from those who were not.
