Abstract

ABSTRACT Asian culture has been test-centric for over 1,400 years. U.S. education has been since the 1990s. Based on Kim’s creative Climates, Attitudes, and Thinking skills (CATs), creativity indicators were developed using the 2015 PISA questionnaires. Study I examined (a) relationships between students’ PISA science scores and CATs; (b) differences between Asian and U.S. students in PISA scores and CATs; and (c) relationships between teachers’ years of teaching and nurturing CATs. Study I found (a) negative relationships between students’ PISA scores and CATs, (b) Asian students demonstrating higher PISA scores but lower CATs than U.S. students, and (c) U.S. teachers decreasingly nurture CATs. Study II examined how U.S. CATs changed from 1990 through 2017 by analyzing TTCT norming data (N = 273,441) and found continued declines in CATs, especially in imagination and in young children.

创造力危机最新消息:美国追随亚洲追求高分而非学习
1400多年来,亚洲文化一直以测试为中心。美国的教育自20世纪90年代以来就一直如此。根据金的创造性气候、态度和思维技能(CAT),使用2015年PISA问卷制定了创造性指标。研究I考察了(a)学生PISA科学成绩与CAT之间的关系;(b) 亚洲和美国学生在PISA成绩和CAT方面的差异;以及(c)教师的教学年限与培养CATs之间的关系。我的研究发现(a)学生的PISA成绩与CAT之间存在负相关,(b)亚洲学生的PISA成绩高于美国学生,但CAT低于美国学生,(c)美国教师对CAT的培养越来越少。研究二通过分析TTCT规范化数据(N=273441),研究了1990年至2017年美国CAT的变化,发现CAT持续下降,尤其是在想象力和幼儿中。
