Developmen of drawing training application with a dual process for enhancing creative thinking of primary School students : electroencephal ogram study
Abstract:
This research involved the development of drawing training application with a dual process for enhancing creative thinking of primary school students, and development of creativity thinking test on computerized version. The effectiveness of application and creativity testing activities was examined, and an analysis of the involved relative power of electroencephalography (EEG) undertaken. Sixty participants aged between 10 12 years old participated, with simple random assignment employed to place them in experimental and control groups of equal size. Creativity thinking test on computerized version were assessed by response accuracy score, response time and electroencephalography (EEG). Brain connectivity was investigated with coherence analysis. It was found that: 1) An application to practice drawing lines with a parallel process as a line drawing practice. cartoon and realistic images Sorted from easy to difficult 2) Creativity testing activities consisted of 3 categories: pictures of things, pictures of animals and pictures of people tested through computer screens. EEGs were measured during the testing activities. 3) The accuracy scores in the experimental group after training were higher than before training. and higher than the control group 4) The response time in the experimental group after the training was reduced more than before the training. and decreased more than the control group. and 5) the mean relative power of EEG. The alpha frequency range in the experimental group after training was higher than before training. and higher than the control group in the frontal, lateral, temporal and occipital lobes were statistically significant and the experimental group had strong and pervasive alpha wave network activity in prefrontal cortex regions involved in creativity. It is concluded that the drawing practice application developed with a tandem process can be appropriately used to increase the creativity of primary school students.
