원격연합이론기반 창의성 검사도구 개발 및 타당화

Validation of Problem Solving and Problem Finding Creativity Test based on Remote Association Theory

본 연구에서는 ‘원격연합이론기반 창의성검사’도구를 개발하고, 그 신뢰도와 타당도를 검증하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구에서 개발한 창의성 검사도구는 ‘Mednick(1962)의 원격연합이론’과 ‘문제발견 개념 중 문제개발’ 적용에 주안점을 두고 선행연구 분석 및 전문가 의견을 바탕으로 총 9개의 문항(문제해결형 8개, 문제발견형 1개)을 초등학생 5,6학년 327명을 대상으로 검사를 실시한 뒤, 각종 분석을 통해 검사도구의 적절한 신뢰도를 나타냈다. 창의성검사도구의 공인타당도 및 변별타당도 검증을 위해 KEDI 창의인성검사, TTCT, K-RAT와의 상관분석을 실시하였으며, 그 결과 기존검사도구와 차별화를 지닌 검사도구로서의 가능성을 확인하였다. 또한 또래 및 교사로부터 창의성이 높다고 지명된 학생집단과 일반집단, 영재학생집단과 일반학생집단간의 유의미한 차이가 있음을 도출함에 따라 개발된 창의성검사도구의 예측타당도를 검증하였다. 이를 통해 앞으로 이루어질 수많은 창의성 관련 연구와 질적으로 우수한 창의적 인재 개발 및 영재 학생 판별을 위한 검사도구로서의 활용 가능성을 시사받을 수 있었다.

The purpose of this research is to develop a ‘Problem Solving and Problem Finding Creativity Test based on Remote Association Theory’ and to verify its reliability and validity. It was the application of two Mednick (1962) remote associative theories and problem finding, which were most importantly considered in the development of new and different creativity test. For this reason, after conducting inspections on 327 elementary school students in the 5th and 6th grades, 9 questions (8 problem-solving types and 1 problem-finding type) developed based on the analysis of previous research and the opinions of experts were conducted. , Various analyzes have shown the proper reliability. Correlation analysis with KEDI, TTCT, and K-RAT was conducted to verify the concurrent validity and discrimination validity of the creativity test, and as a result, the possibility as a test tool with differentiation from the conventional test tool was confirmed. Also, it was developed by deriving that there is a significant difference between a group of students of the same age and teachers nominated as highly creative and a general group, and a group of gifted students and a group of general students. We verified the predictive validity of the creativity test. It is expected that the findings of this research will be useful in many upcoming creativity-related researches, qualitatively creative human resource development, and educational settings for gifted student identification.
