Abstract

Creativity is a crucial skill for future engineers. Hence, it is becoming increasingly important for higher education (HE) engineering educators to foster and enhance engineering students' creative abilities. Simultaneously, online learning has found a place in engineering education. Nevertheless, we find that HE engineering educators in all domains continue to express a sense of inadequacy when it comes to fostering creativity in hybrid and online learning environments. This sentiment persists despite the existence of scholarly work that suggests strategies for addressing these challenges. In this paper, we assume that the rationale behind this is that the proposed pedagogical approaches are primarily established through conceptual reflections, whereas the perspective of the HE engineering educators on the perceived barriers has thus far been largely neglected. Therefore, we present a study that uses data from experience interviews and focus group techniques involving 71 HE engineering educators from Ireland, Germany, Denmark and Turkey to identify the common challenges that HE engineering educators perceive when facilitating creativity in online and hybrid classroom environments. These are used to extend theory by developing a four-field conceptual model organizing the eight overarching challenges encountered. This model can be used as a basis for defining measures to support HE engineering educators in facilitating creativity online and serves as a guide for future research studies.

我想他们只是登录后就睡着了:在高等工程教育中促进在线创造力所面临的挑战
创造力是未来工程师的一项重要技能。因此,培养和提高工科学生的创新能力对高等教育(HE)工程学教育者越来越重要。与此同时,在线学习也在工程教育中占据了一席之地。然而,我们发现,在混合式和在线学习环境中培养学生的创造力方面,各个领域的高等工科教育工作者仍然感到力不从心。尽管有学术著作提出了应对这些挑战的策略,但这种情绪依然存在。在本文中,我们认为这背后的原因是,所提出的教学方法主要是通过概念反思建立起来的,而高等工程教育工作者对所感知的障碍的观点迄今为止在很大程度上被忽视了。因此,我们提出了一项研究,利用来自爱尔兰、德国、丹麦和土耳其的 71 名高等工科教育工作者的经验访谈和焦点小组技术数据,来确定高等工科教育工作者在网络和混合课堂环境中促进创造力时感知到的共同挑战。通过建立一个四领域概念模型来组织所遇到的八大挑战,从而对理论进行扩展。该模型可作为界定支持高校工程教育工作者促进在线创造力的措施的基础,并可作为未来研究的指南。

期刊介绍: Creativity and Innovation Management bridges the gap between the theory and practice of organizing imagination and innovation. The journal''s central consideration is how to challenge and facilitate creative potential, and how then to embed this into results-oriented innovative business development. The creativity of individuals, coupled with structured and well-managed innovation projects, creates a sound base from which organizations may operate effectively within their inter-organizational and societal environment. Today, successful operations must go hand in hand with the ability to anticipate future opportunities. Therefore, a cultural focus and inspiring leadership are as crucial to an organization''s success as efficient structural arrangements and support facilities. This is reflected in the journal''s contents: -Leadership for creativity and innovation; the behavioural side of innovation management. -Organizational structures and processes to support creativity and innovation; interconnecting creative and innovative processes. -Creativity, motivation, work environment/creative climate and organizational behaviour, creative and innovative entrepreneurship. -Deliberate development of creative and innovative skills including the use of a variety of tools such as TRIZ or CPS. -Creative professions and personalities; creative products; the relationship between creativity and humour; arts and amp; humanities side of creativity.
