Abstract

Santranç oyunu kompleks kuralları olan üst düzey düşünme becerileri gerektiren bir oyundur. Bu çalışmanın genel amacı, üstün zekalı olan ve üstün zekalı olmayan lise öğrencilerinin alana özgü yaratıcılıkları üzerinde satrancın etkisinin incelenmesidir. Çalışma, 260’sı üstün zekalı ve 216’sı ortalama zeka düzeyinde olmak üzere toplam 476 öğrenciden dönen veriler ile sürdürülmüştür. Veri toplama aracı olarak Şahin 2015b, 2016 tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanmış olan Kaufman Alanları Yaratıcılık Ölçeği Türkçe Versiyonu kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçları akademik, mekanik/bilimsel, performans, öz/günlük ve sanatsal yaratıcılıktan alanlarından oluşan alana özgü yaratıcılık puanlarda gruplar arasında anlamlı farklılıklar olduğuna işaret etmektedir. Çalışma bulguları, satranç oynamanın üstün zekalı olan öğrenciler ile ortalama düzeyde zekaya sahip olan öğrencilerin yaratıcı düşünme becerilerinin geliştirilmesinde etkili olduğuna işaret etmektedir
