Beginning teachers

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Creativity Studies

Background:

  • Understanding teacher creativity styles is crucial for adapting to evolving educational demands.
  • The Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory (KAI) and Basadur Creative Problem Solving Profile (BCPSP) are key measures of creativity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between two distinct creativity style measures in student teachers.
  • To explore how different creativity styles align with problem-solving approaches in education.

Main Methods:

  • 116 student teachers completed the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory (KAI) and Basadur Creative Problem Solving Profile (BCPSP).
  • Correlational analysis was used to examine the relationships between scores on the two measures.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • A preference for an Innovator style (high KAI scores) correlated positively with the Generator profile on the BCPSP (r=.36, p<.01).
  • KAI Efficiency scores, indicating a preference for broad ideas, correlated with the BCPSP Conceptualizer scores (r=.26, p<.01).

Conclusions:

  • Findings suggest a link between adaptive-innovative creativity and generative problem-solving approaches in novice educators.
  • These insights can inform teacher training programs to better support the development of higher-order thinking skills in students.
