교사 관찰에 의한 창의적 유아 판별도구의 타당성 분석 = Examining the validity of an observation-based measurement of creativity in young children

국문 초록 (Abstract)

유아의 창의성을 측정, 판별하기 위해 지필고사 방식의 확산적 사고 검사가 주로 이용되어 왔다. 그러나 이러한 방식이 유아의 창의적 능력을 적절하게 예측해내는데 한계가 있으며 유아의 발달적인 측면에서 적합하지 않다는 연구결과가 지속적으로 제기되고 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 유아의 창의성을 측정하고 판별함에 있어 하나의 대안적인 도구를 소개한다, Nebraska Starry Night Observation Protocol (NSNO). 교사의 행동 관찰에 의거하는 NSNO는 심도 깊은 문헌 연구를 통하여 관찰 가능한 17개의 창의성 관련 행동요인을 제시한다. 이 연구에서는 NSNO와 TCT-DP와의 관련성을 통한 준거타당도 검증과 함께 세 영역에서의 창의적 수행과 NSNO와의 관련성을 탐색함으로 NSNO의 예측타당성을 탐색해보고자 하였다. 본 연구를 위해 수도권의 2개 유치원 4개 학급 110명의 유아가 참여하였다. 연구 결과 NSNO와 TCT-DP는 r = .42, p<.01, 그리고 NSNO와 세 영역에서의 창의적 수행은 r = .32 - .59, p<.01로 유의미한 상관이 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 창의적 유아의 조기 판별이라는 맥락과 관련하여 심도 깊게 논의되었다.

Creative ability in young children has traditionally been assessed through standardized paper and pencil tests of divergent thinking. Recent studies, however, have indicated that these traditional measures have limitations in measuring young children's creativity and are not developmentally appropriate. This study investigated an alternative method of identifying creative ability, [The Nebraska Starry Night Observation Protocol(NSNO)]. The NSNO was developed to provide K-2 grade classroom teachers with means of early identification of creative children. The NSNO recognized multiple manifestations of high ability and creativity, which are perceived as being observable, developmental and process-oriented. The NSNO provided nominal descriptions of 17 key qualities or behaviors found repeatedly in literature on characteristics of able and creative children. Concurrent and predictive validities of the NSNO were examined by comparing the NSNO, the TCT-DP, and the creative performances in three domains. The subjects of this study were 110 four and five years of children. The NSNO and the TCT-DP were significantly related (r=.42, p<.01). The relationships among the NSNO and the creative performances in three domains were significant too, r = .32 - .59, p<.01. The implication of the study was discussed related to the early identification of young creative children
