Enhancing Children's Creativity: An Exploratory Study on Using the Internet and SCAMPER as Creative Writing Tools

This paper reports on the study of the use of the Internet and SCAMPER in facilitating creative writing. A total of 60 children of primary school age participated voluntarily in a creative writing program. Over a period of one month, in groups, the children learned how to use the Internet and SCAMPER to enhance their creative writing. The findings showed that children who used the Internet demonstrated an improvement in their creative writing in terms of fluency and elaboration. On the other hand, children who used SCAMPER did not show any obvious improvements in their creative writing. Limitations of the study and suggestions for future research are also presented in this report.
