The Effects of Gender and MI-Infusing Instruction on Fourth Graders¡¦ Application of MI in Science Learning and Their Improvement in Technological CreativityChen, Li-Yu 27 January 2003 (has links)
The purposes of this study were (a) to examine the effectiveness of the MI-Infusing Instruction on fourth graders¡¦ applications of MI in Science Learning and their improvement in technological creativity; and (b) to examine the relationships between gender, multiple intelligences, and technological creativity.
An unequal group pretest-posttest design was employed in the study. Two fourth-grade classes of a public elementary school in Kaohsung were selected based on convenience sampling. The participants were divided into the experimental group (n = 23) and the control group (n = 33). The employed instruments included MI-Infusing Learning Scale, Technological Creativity Test, and several self-developed worksheets. The applied analysis methods were Descriptive Statistics, Multivariate Analysis of Covariance, Discriminant Analysis, and Canonical Correlation.
The main findings of this study were as follows:
1. The MI-Infusing Instruction had significant effects on enhancing fourth graders¡¦ naturalist and interpersonal intelligences.
2. The MI-Infusing Instruction was effective on enhancing fourth graders¡¦ fluency, elaboration, and visual design.
3. The girls¡¦ interpersonal intelligence was higher than that of the boys, but such gender difference was not found in the performance of technological creativity.
4. There was a significant canonical correlation between the indices of multiple intelligences (linguistic intelligence, naturalist intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and intrapersonal intelligence) and those of technological creativity (fluency, flexibility, originality, elaboration, and visual design).
5. The fourth graders¡¦ abilities of technological creativity could effectively predict their ability groups of naturalist intelligence.
Finally, the researcher proposed some suggestions for educational instruction and future studies.

Abstract
The main purposes of this study were (a) to investigate the differences of fifth graders¡¦ performances on technological creativity in different induced moods; and (b) to explore the relationships between gender, birth order, family structure, emotional straits, creative personalities and the fifth graders¡¦ performances on technological creativity.
An unequal group pretest-posttest design was employed in this study. The participants consisted of 3 classes of fifth graders, randomly distributed into 3 groups: the experimental group A (n = 42) which received positive mood induction, the experimental group B (n = 33) which received negative mood induction, and the controlled group (n = 38) which didn¡¦t received any treatment.
The employed instruments were The Questionnaire of Emotional Traits, The Questionnaire of Emotional States, The Inventory of Personal Traits to The Development of Technological Creativity, and The Test of Technological Creativity. The applied analysis methods were Descriptives, Multiple Analysis of Variance, Multivariate Analysis of Covariance, and Canonical Correlation.
The findings and conclusions of this study were as follows:
1.Induced positive moods were a better facilitator for the fifth graders¡¦ performance on technological creativity than induced negative moods as well as neutral moods.
2.Positive emotional traits were able to promote the fifth graders¡¦ performance on the invention of creative products.
3.Gender differences in the fifth graders¡¦ technological creative performance were evident. While the boys¡¦ abilities to combine technological concepts were better than the girls¡¦, but their abilities to invent creative products were worse than the girls¡¦.
4.Birth order and family structure had no significant effects on the fifth graders¡¦ technological creative performance.
5.Personal traits had significant effects on the fifth graders¡¦ performance on the invention of creative products. Among all personal traits, ¡§knowledge¡¨ had the most significant effect on the fifth graders¡¦ technological creative performance.
6.Gender, birth order, family structure, mood, emotional traits, and creative personalities had significant correlations, and gender had the highest correlation with technological creativity of the fifth graders.

閱讀環境、玩興、父母創意教養與國小中、高年級學童科技創造力之關係 / The Relationships among Reading Environment, Playfulness, Creative Parenting and Technological Creativity of the Third and Fifth Graders王昕馨, Hsin Hsin,Wang Unknown Date (has links)
本研究旨在探討閱讀環境、玩興、父母創意教養與國小中、高年級學童科技創造力之關係。研究參與者來自台北市的國小中、高年級,有效樣本計374人。本研究所採用的研究工具包括「科技創造力測驗」、「家庭閱讀環境量表」、「班級閱讀環境量表」、「兒童玩興量表」及「父母創意教養量表」。資料分析所用之統計方法包括描述統計、單因子多變量變異數分析及線性結構模式分析。
本研究主要發現如下:
1.不同性別的三、五年級學童對家庭閱讀環境、班級閱讀環境、玩興的知覺皆無差異,但在父母創意教養的知覺上和科技創造力的表現上卻有差異。三、五年級女童對於父母創意教養的感知程度皆些微地優於男童;而三、五年級男童在整體創造力測驗上皆優於女童,且五年級男童比女童有更好的「視覺造型」表現。
2.不同年級的三、五年級學童在家庭閱讀環境、班級閱讀環境、玩興、父母創意教養的知覺程度上和科技創造力的表現上有顯著差異。五年級學童除了在科技創造力的表現上有高於三年級學童的傾向外,在閱讀環境、玩興、父母創意教養的知覺程度上皆有低於三年級學童的傾向。
3.三、五年級學童的家庭閱讀環境對其整體科技創造力表現分別有些微和明顯的正效果,而五年級學童在「精進力」指標的表現尤其顯著。
4.三年級學童的班級閱讀環境對其整體科技創造力表現有正效果,反之,五年級則無。而三年級學童在「視覺造型」指標的表現尤其顯著。
5.三、五年級學童的玩興對其整體科技創造力表現皆有正效果。三年級學童在「精進力」、「視覺造型」指標的表現較顯著,五年級則在「流暢力」、「精進力」上較顯著。
6.五年級學童的父母創意教養對其整體科技創造力表現有正效果,但三年級學童只對「視覺造型」指標之表現有正效果。而五年級學童在「精進力」指標之表現尤其顯著。
7.家庭閱讀環境、班級閱讀環境、玩興、父母創意教養似乎對三年級學童的「視覺造型」指標較有預測效果,而對五年級學童則是在「精進力」指標較有效果。
8.三、五年級學童皆透過閱讀環境、父母創意教養,先對玩興產生直接或間接效果,然後才對學童科技創造力產生間接的影響效果。
最後,本研究依據上述的研究結果進行討論,並提出相關建議,以供教育、心輔等相關人員在課程、教學與輔導上之參考。 / The main purpose of this study was to explore the relationships among reading environment, playfulness, creative parenting, and technological creativity of the third and fifth graders. The participants included 374 pupils from the elementary schools in Taipei City. The employed instruments in this study were the Test of Technological Creativity, the Inventory of Reading Environment in Family, the Inventory of Reading Environment in the Classroom, the Inventory of Playfulness, the Inventory of Creative Parenting. The employed analysis methods included Descriptives, One-Way Multiple Analysis of Variance, and Structural Equation Modeling.
The main findings of this study were as follows:
1.While the girls of the third and fifth graders perceived higher degree of creative parenting than did the boys, the boys outperformed the girls in technological creativity, especially in the “visual design”. No gender differences in reading environment and playfulness were found, however.
2.There were significant grade differences in reading environment, playfulness, creative parenting, and technological creativity. More specifically, the fifth graders outperformed the third graders in technological creativity, but perceived lower degree of reading environment, playfulness, and creative parenting than did the third graders.
3.The third graders’ reading environment in family had a little positive effect on their performance of technological creativity. One the contrary, the fifth graders’ reading environment in family had a great positive effect on their performance of technological creativity, especially on that of “elaboration”.
4.The reading environment in the classroom had a positive effect on the third graders’ performance of technological creativity, especially on that of “visual design”. Such an effect, however, was not found among the fifth graders.
5.Playfulness had significant effects on both the third and fifth graders’ performance of technological creativity. More specifically, playfulness had positive effects on the scores of “elaboration” and “visual design” among the third graders and had positive effects on those of “fluency” and “elaboration” among the fifth graders.
6.Creative parenting had a positive effect on the fifth graders’ overall performance of technological creativity as well as on the score of “elaboration”. However, the positive effect of creative parenting was only found on score of “visual design” in the third grade.
7.While reading environment, playfulness, and creative parenting were effective predictors of the third graders’ performance in “visual design”, they were effective predictors of the fifth graders’ performance in “elaboration”.
8.The findings in this study suggest that the third and fifth graders’ personal trait of playfulness directly influence their development of technological creativity; meanwhile, their reading environment and creative parenting may influence their development of technological creativity directly or indirectly via playfulness.
Finally, the researcher proposed some suggestions for educational instructions and future studies.
