Based on her novel notions on the fundamental nature of creativity and the psychosocial need for an adequate assessment, Amabile (1983) proposes consensual assessment technique (CAT) to provide a "product-based" quantitative approach to evaluate creativity. The essence of CAT is that it delineates factors that influence and determine the "product" to be truly "creative", and emphasizes that a product or an observable reaction is the testimony of creativity. Amabile (1983) also implies creativity is not an individual phenomenon, but consists of three major components: task motivation, expertise and creativity skills. The purpose of this study is to examine the validity of Amabile's component model of creativity and to apply his model into the essay writings in primary school students, hence to test the attribution of CAT in providing a valid appraisal in creativity assessment. A "product-based" CAT was performed on 110 essays with 5 different topics written by 22 6th grade school students. A group of Chinese experts, made up of 3 children literature professors and 6 experienced primary school teachers, are in charge of evaluating all these essays. The evaluated results are used to determine if to determine if Amabile's model can be comparable to current psychosocial norms and if it can accurately delineates individual's creativity talent. According to our hypothetical working framework, the following results were expected; (1)motivation has a positive effect on creativity, (2)professional techniques have a positive effect on creativity (3)creative technique has a positive effect on creativity (4)the results of CAT showed a mutual consensus on defining creativity amongst the professional judges.

To associate leading with teaching the effect which four grade of pupils creates the poem of children concurrently the one that tests consensual assessment technique of Amabile is proper. Hsiu-Tsu Chang ABSRACT It is the motive power of promoting social progress too to create and think it is mankind's unique natural talent . In strange and changeful and changeable era, ' the intention ' grasps parameters , opens the new chances . Train student's creativity, become the important subject for education at present. In order to which kind of method is taken to promote students' Chinese creativity? This research mainly aims at leading pupils of grade four to create the poem of children by associating teaching technology, and the one that study its impact on pupil's creativity and concurrently test Amabile1983 consensual assessment technique(CAT) is proper. This result of study is as follows: First , three different group of nine experts of groups evaluate creativity of poem works CAT of 68 pupil children consent quantity Up to. More than 90. Second, the pupil's children poem works creativity displays and is correlated with their children poem writing motives.( r =. 410, p<. 01). Third, accept the pupil dealing with the experiment and behave in children poem creativity, there is difference of showing in the groups, associate and lead the pupil of teaching group to display and is obviously superior to contrasting the group pupil .(F =7.77, p<. 05, d =.68) Key word: to associate leading, consensual assessment technique, Children poem creates, form of motive amount of children poem writing

Amabile defines creativity from ¡§product¡¨. In her opinion, the behavior of creativity is by the products of the relevant fields of expert's assessment, and develops ¡§consensual assessment technique (CAT)¡¨ as the way to measure creativity.

This study had collected 29 students of a fifth grade in primary school class, and amounted to 162 drawing products. There were 9 judges come from 3 art domain expert's groups, including that 3 judges come from university professor's group, 3 judges come from junior and elementary teacher's groups, and 3 judges come from painter's groups. Each judge used the inventory of consensual assessment to evaluate each product independently. And this study designed inventory to exam students in the same class in order to collect the data. According to the results of the research: ( a) It was high common consensus that all judges evaluate creativity ,( b) It was middle-to-low common consensus that each group evaluate creativity , (c) Creativity measures taken in different groups showed significant correlations, (d) It was high common consensus to evaluate the creativity of the specific theme works, (e) The correlation between expertise and creativity was significant, (f) The correlation between creative-thinking skill and creativity was significant, (g) The correlation between motivation and creativity was significant.
